Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fuel for Life Homme EDT
Diesel Fuel for Life is a polarising scent, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of juice. Some find its unique raspberry and anise blend intoxicatingly sexy, a true compliment magnet. Others find it an abominable, headache-inducing synthetic mess akin to cleaning products or musty hookah lounges. It's certainly not a safe blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Fuel for Life Homme EDP
This is Divain's take on Diesel's Fuel for Life Homme, an aromatic-fruity fougere with a distinctive raspberry-lavender contrast. The grapefruit-anise opening and raspberry-lavender heart hit the right beats, but the dupe's woody-heliotrope base is thinner than the original's more textured, slightly leathery drydown.
