Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Armani Code Profumo EDP
This one's a divisive legend. Discontinued by Armani (to widespread outrage), Profumo is drenched in sweet, spicy, amber goodness that's pure seduction, though a few find it a bit much. If you can get your hands on it, you're in for a treat.

Our Verdict - Guess Seductive Noir Homme EDT
This one's a budget banger for fans of Paco Rabanne's 1 Million, offering a seductive sweet-spicy kick without breaking the bank. It's not groundbreaking, but it absolutely gets the job done for the price - a cheapie that punches well above its weight.
