Which Should You Buy?
Diesel Bad is a classic love-it-or-hate-it scent. Half the internet thinks it's a generic, headache-inducing mess, but its devoted fans say it's an underrated, compliment-getting monster akin to Invictus, but with a grown-up twist. Undeniably mass-appealing, but certainly not for everyone.
A budget clone of Aramis New West for Him, the first-ever aquatic. The soapy herbal pine-and-ocean-mist character lands recognisably, though Perfume Parlour renders the vintage original's distinctive calone freshness simpler and shorter-lived.
