Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Centaurus EDP
This is a divisive one. Many hail Centaurus as a beast-mode, luxurious tobacco-vanilla, while others dismiss it as an overpriced holiday candle, lacking originality and far too sweet. Creed die-hards might find it a departure, but it's clearly a crowd-pleasing warm spicy amber that makes a statement.
Statement
Our Verdict - Taureau De Combat EDP
A warm spicy amber that's divisive enough to be interesting but crowd-pleasing enough to be reliable. Some sniff a festive candle, others find it an elegant, beefed-up take on existing popular fragrances. Redundant if you already own similar scents, but a strong choice if you don't.
