Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cars Eau de Toilette

Don't let the name fool you, this is surprisingly versatile. It's an energetic citrus that's cheap and cheerful enough to be a blind-buy for a laugh, but genuinely pleasant for everyday wear.

Our Verdict - Reporter for Men Eau de Toilette

A divisive scent with a split personality: some find it a fresh, natural-smelling daily driver; others a throwback powerhouse. It's affordable, but be warned, formulations vary wildly.
