Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Brut EDP
Brut by Fabergé is a divisive classic. Some find it a 'masterpiece' and an essential expression of masculinity, while others dismiss it as 'putrid crap' or an 'old man's scent'. It's a barbershop fougère that evokes strong nostalgia, whether for better or worse.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Eau de Lancaster EDT
This 70s powerhouse is a true love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Some find it a clean, fresh, timeless chypre, while others are hit with an unavoidable 'grandpa's aftershave' vibe. If you want a classic aromatic with a vintage twist, give it a sniff.
