Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chicago High
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it experience with Chicago High. It's a divisive beast of champagne, pineapples, honeyed tobacco, and animalic leather, delivering a boozy, smoky punch that some find utterly captivating and others utterly repulsive.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Black Leather
This budget-friendly Aventus clone delivers solid everyday performance, a true steal for the price. Don't expect perfection, but it certainly scratches that Creed itch without breaking the bank.
