Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Burlington Eau de Parfum

This is a real love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of modern citrus, pure class in a bottle, while others find the cumin note absolutely vile, smelling of burnt rubber or body odour. It's a divisive one, so sample before you splurge on that hefty price tag.

Our Verdict - Whisky Black Eau de Toilette

Surprisingly decent for the price, Whisky Black is a sweet citrus-woody blend that's an easy grab-and-go. Just be warned, the sweetness isn't for everyone.

While some find its projection considerable, others say it's understated, making it potentially suitable for the office. Its complex, citrus-woody profile and subtle spice lend themselves well to dates and casual wear, though the polarizing cumin note might be a risk for formal settings.

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date Sport
