Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Exquisite Leather EDP
Surprisingly good for the price, this Beckham fragrance punches well above its weight. It's a dark, sweet leather bomb that some find fantastic value, while others are put off by its roughness. Expect a divide, but a loyal following from those who get it.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Les Absolus d'Orient Patchouli Ardent EDP
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't your usual patchouli. It's a loud, complex rose-leather bomb that some adore and others find a bit much. A high-quality oriental for those who like to make a statement.
