Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - D&G Masculine EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Manly EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of D&G Masculine - a citrus fragrance led by Bergamot, Petitgrain, with aromatic depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
