Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 1-12 Eau de Parfum

A divisive but undeniably classic green fougere that screams '70s swagger. For the price, it's a steal if you appreciate its soapy, aromatic charm, but don't expect modern appeal or beast-mode performance from current formulations.

Statement

Our Verdict - Cygnus Pour Homme Eau de Parfum

This one is a crowd-pleaser for younger chaps looking for something a bit different for a night out. Expect compliments and solid performance, though some might find it a touch unrefined compared to its pricier counterparts.

Also Works:

Office Date

Its clean, soapy nature makes it versatile for casual wear and suitable for a relaxed office. However, its vintage barbershop scent might be too 'old-school' for formal events or modern date nights, and it's not well-suited for sport due to its profile and moderate performance.
