Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - D&G Masculine
This one's a proper cult classic, still mourned years after it was binned. You're either going to love its sharp, green citrus, or find it a painfully dated relic. If you're after that '90s fresh-out-of-the-shower vibe, this is your jam - but good luck finding a bottle that won't cost an arm and a leg.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Beau Acute
This is your everyday freshie, pure and simple. It's a reliable crowd-pleaser, perfect for when you want to smell good without shouting about it. Forget the hype around clones - just enjoy it for what it is.
