Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Givenchy pour Homme EDT
Givenchy Pour Homme is a proper classic, but whether it still hits the mark is up for debate. It's either a timeless, subtle woody-citrus or a 'meh' forgettable scent, depending on who you ask.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Hydrosphere EDP
Hydrosphere chases Memo Paris Ocean Leather - that bright citrus and aromatic-herb opening grounded by a soft, creamy leather-vetiver base. The fresh-leather concept carries across, but it reads thinner and more straightforwardly citrusy, missing the niche refinement of the original's signature leather.
