Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L for Men EDP
A truly classic British gentleman's scent, Clive Christian L for Men is a high-quality woody-citrus masterpiece. While some find it a bit too stuffy, those who appreciate its sophisticated charm consider it a signature-worthy fragrance.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Bamboo Whispers EDP
A budget take on Le Labo The Matcha 26, that creamy fig-and-green-tea cult favourite. Bamboo Whispers captures the milky fig and airy matcha bitterness, but the refined cedar-vetiver base is thinner, and it stays soft and close to the skin rather than lingering.
