Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Challenge EDT

This one's a mixed bag, offering an initial burst of zest that divides opinion. Some celebrate its clean, fresh simplicity, while others are less impressed by its fleeting nature and generic scent profile. It's a 'your mileage may vary' situation, so try before you buy.

Statement

Our Verdict - 20 Iconic Masculine EDP

This citrus-vetiver blend is polarizing. Some find it a masterpiece, a refreshing and charismatic scent that defines luxury. Others dismiss it as overpriced and generic, with a performance that doesn't justify the hefty price tag. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of frag, but with a definite lean towards the 'love it' camp if you can get past the price.

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual and sports wear, especially in warmer weather, with many reviews noting it's perfect post-shower or for the gym. However, its often-criticised poor longevity and subtle sillage make it less ideal for formal events or dates where more presence is desired.

Its fresh and clean citrus-green profile makes it versatile for casual wear and daily use, but its high price and sometimes lauded performance also push it into more special occasions. Reviews indicate it's often seen for daily wear but some users highlight its luxurious appeal for dressier moments. While fresh, it's perhaps too refined for heavy sport.
