Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spirit Of The Brave Intense EDP
This one's a surprise hit for sub-£40! Likeable and versatile, Spirit Of The Brave Intense is riding the line between sweet and fresh without going overboard. No love-it-or-hate-it here - it’s a crowd-pleaser that's hard to dislike.
Statement
Our Verdict - Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver EDT
A divisive scent that’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, particularly for fans of the original Kouros. Many find it a pleasant, modern fruity-aromatic, while others decry it as generic and a betrayal of the iconic nameplate. It's safe, but not for everyone.
