Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kaiak
This one's a Brazilian classic, known to everyone but also considered a bit 'been there, done that'. It's super fresh and energising, a perfect grab-and-go for hot weather, though some argue it's best left to the teens.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Carthusia Uomo
This is a quintessential grown-up masculine scent, a classic barbershop vibe that's divisive - some call it timeless, others dated. If you want something fresh, clean, and unmistakably masculine, you'll love it. If you're after anything remotely modern or playful, best steer clear. It's an old-money staple.
