Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mediterráneo
This budget-friendly Mediterranean dream is a crowd-pleaser for light, refreshing wear, though its notorious weak performance is a constant debate. Love the scent, just wish it stuck around longer.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Bavaria The Gemstone Lapurd
This is a seriously impressive budget scent that punches well above its weight. Forget the price tag; this delivers luxury citrus and spice with exceptional performance, though you might want to save it for when you're not stuck in a quiet office.
