Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Astor Cologne
This isn't just a perfume; it's a statement of quiet heritage and undeniable class. Old money, bottled. You won't smell like everyone else, but you'll smell distinguished and supremely confident. Almost universally loved with a timeless appeal that transcends its Victorian origins.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Reporter for Men
A divisive scent with a split personality: some find it a fresh, natural-smelling daily driver; others a throwback powerhouse. It's affordable, but be warned, formulations vary wildly.

However, its longevity, while decent for an EDC, means it's not ideal for high-exertion activities.
