Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo Reversed EDT
A solid, if short-lived, citrus-fresh punch, Hugo Reversed is the ultimate warm-weather grab-and-go. Don't expect miracles in longevity, but for the price, it's a no-brainer for those scorching hot days.

Our Verdict - K by Dolce & Gabbana Parfum
Divisive yet undeniably popular, K EDT is a fresh, citrus-spicy aromatic that promises easy wearability but often under-delivers on performance for some, making it a love-it-or-hate-it for its pronounced pimento note and 'generic blue' comparisons.
