Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - HiM
A divisive beast, HiM is either a hidden gem of spicy-woody warmth, or a synthetic mess. Most will find it a cosy, understated autumn/winter option, but some will struggle with its cloying sweetness and lack of dynamism.
Statement
Our Verdict - Cheek for Men
A modern take on masculine spice, Cheek for Men delivers a confident, wearable scent that's a versatile crowd-pleaser without being boring. It’s got a bit of everything for everyone.
