Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Echo EDT
This one's a definite 'love-it-or-hate-it' frag. Some champion its fresh, spicy character, while others find it a synthetic headache. It's divisive, but fans reckon it's a classy alternative to mainstream aquatics.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Essencial Intenso EDP
A woody-spicy fragrance with a strong clean musk current, Essencial Intenso is a solid, classic masculine scent for those who appreciate a more traditional aroma. It's a crowd-pleaser that offers fantastic value, though some might find it a tad 'old school'.
