Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Just Aswad EDP
This Sauvage Elixir inspiration is causing a right ruckus. Some reckon it's an absolute beast and nails the original, while others are left wanting more in the performance department. Expect quality, but be ready for a 'love it or leave it' performance debate.
Acquired
Our Verdict - By EDT
A legendary, much-missed masterpiece from D&G's golden era. 'By' is a total crowd-pleaser that delivers a potent dose of creamy, masculine sophistication. It's universally adored for a reason: sexy, unique, and it just works.
