Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mefisto EDP
Mefisto is a fresh citrus bomb that's undeniably classy. It's often compared to Silver Mountain Water but with more floral depth and better performance. While some find it leans feminine, it's overwhelmingly lauded as a sophisticated, uplifting men's scent.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Old Windsor EDC
A proper old-school cologne, Old Windsor is a blast from the past that delivers bright citruses and creamy woods. It's a classic for a reason, perfect for those who appreciate traditional, sophisticated scents.
