Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Eau Kenzo Intense pour Homme EDT
This one sparks strong opinions - some find it an affordable, pleasing marine citrus, while others dismiss it as a weaker Invictus clone. The 'Intense' label is definitely doing overtime given the common complaints about its staying power.

Our Verdict - Acqua di Giò Profondo Lights EDP
This flanker is a divisive one: some call it a diluted Profondo, others a superior, more mature take. It's an aromatic aquatic that leans greener and more woody than its siblings, making it a sophisticated alternative in the ADG line. Prepare for a hunt, though, as it's often discontinued.
