Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Drakkar Intense
Drakkar Intense is a divisive cheapie - some hail it as a modern barbershop classic with warm, masculine charm, others are infuriated by its fleeting performance. If you're after a budget-friendly scent for personal enjoyment or short wear, it's worth a sniff. Just don't expect beast mode.

Our Verdict - Black Caviar
Electimuss' Black Caviar is a wildly divisive scent. You'll either love its unique salty aquatic tang and herbal freshness, or recoil from a perceived 'fishy' or 'medicinal' stench. Definitely not a blind buy, but a masterpiece to those who get it.
