Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Xeryus EDP

Givenchy Xeryus is a divisive classic. While some pine for the vintage masterpiece and its sophisticated 80s virility, others find newer formulations to be a pale imitation of its former glory. It's a statement scent, not for the faint-hearted, oozing confident green masculinity.

Our Verdict - Lauder EDC

This 80s powerhouse is a divisive beast, lauded by some as a "masterpiece" and a "sleeping giant," while others find it "dated" and akin to "grandma's floral soap." It's an undeniable classic, but approach with caution if modern sensibilities are your thing.
