Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Instinct
An energetic burst of citrus and cardamom over a clean woody base, Instinct is a breezy, everyday masculine that never tries too hard. Effortless, crisp, and a classic budget pick for spring and summer.

Our Verdict - D'hommes Sport
This is a brilliantly bright and zesty everyman scent that smells far more expensive than it is. It's a crowd-pleasing, uplifting freshie that punches well above its weight, particularly for spring and summer. Expect compliments and surprised giggles when you reveal the price.
