Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Blend Cardamom
This one's a divisive beast. It's either an absolute masterpiece, a stunning green cardamom with amazing performance, or a generic 'blue shower gel' that vanishes before you can even smell it. There's no middle ground here, so prepare for a gamble.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Emporia Men
Emporia Men isn't exactly groundbreaking, but it's a solid, reliable choice for those after a warm, woody scent with a bit of spice. It's a crowd-pleaser that gets the job done without shouting about it.
