Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Star Men
This is a seriously divisive scent. Some folks are absolutely obsessed with its unique, gourmand punch, whilst others can't stand it and reckon it smells like sour milk. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Our Verdict - Giorgio for Men
A legendary 80s powerhouse for a reason. Still polarising decades on, some find it a dated beast, others a timeless, affordable classic. This one means business, so spray with caution.

Occasions
