Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure British For Men EDP
A budget take on Burberry Brit for Men. The spicy-citrus opening of ginger and cardamom and the dusty rose-and-cedar heart trace the original's versatile dandy character; the tonka-musk base lands flatter and gives up much of the designer's strong opening projection and long staying power.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Hudson II EDP
A versatile scent that bridges fresh brightness with warm, spicy depths, suitable for multiple occasions.
