Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Only The Brave EDP
If you're after a loud, sweet leather for a night out, this will probably tickle your fancy. Some reckon it's a bit 'been there, smelled that', but others love its mass appeal. Definitely one for the younger crowd or those who embrace the sweet side of life.
Statement
Our Verdict - Gold Rush Man EDT
Surprisingly, a divisive little cheapie from Paris Hilton, Gold Rush Man is an acquired taste for some but a compliment magnet for others. If you're a fan of sweet, mass-appealing scents and don't take yourself too seriously, this one's a cheeky blind buy.
