Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - CR7
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. There's a core of Le Male-esque warmth and sweetness that some find fantastic value, while others dismiss it as a cheap, synthetic knock-off with abysmal performance. You'll either love it or wish you hadn't bothered.

Our Verdict - Armand Basi Homme
This early-2000s gem from Olivier Cresp is a surprisingly sophisticated, warm-spicy oriental. A love-it-or-hate-it scent for some, but generally considered a beautifully blended, undervalued classic that often gets unfairly compared to its contemporaries. Don't sleep on this one.
