Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Proud of You Oud
A rich, woody oud for those who like their scent to announce their arrival, this one starts loud and settles into a more approachable, spiced-vanilla sweetness. Not for shrinking violets, but definitely a crowd-pleaser.
Statement
Our Verdict - Jimmy Choo Man Blue
Jimmy Choo Man Blue is a mass-appealing 'blue' scent that suffers from a severe identity crisis. It's pleasant and fresh, but utterly unmemorable, making it a safe blind buy for beginners but a skip for anyone after something with character or staying power.
