Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Il Padrino EDP
This one's a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent that's often compared to some big hitters. Many find it a rich, boozy-fruity masterpiece with beast-mode performance, while others find the drydown cheap, synthetic or just too much. Definitely sample first, as this isn't for the faint of heart.

Our Verdict - Story of Your Life EDP
This one's a proper head-scratcher. A deeply divisive scent with a love-it-or-hate-it bread note. Some find it a comforting, boozy gourmand, while others recoil from what they describe as 'bile-soaked moldy bread' or 'medicinal'. Approach with extreme caution.
