Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Colors de Benetton

This 80s powerhouse is a divisive beast: a love-it-or-hate-it scent that has been ravaged by reformulation. Fans adore its unique, sporty, and complex blend of fruit and herbs, while detractors find it an overpowering mess, often compared to bug spray.

Our Verdict - Vert 9

Vert 9 is a solid all-rounder. It's a crowd-pleasing, woody-aromatic fragrance that nails the versatile brief without being boring. If you need one scent for nearly any situation, this is it.
