Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Xeryus

Givenchy Xeryus is a divisive classic. While some pine for the vintage masterpiece and its sophisticated 80s virility, others find newer formulations to be a pale imitation of its former glory. It's a statement scent, not for the faint-hearted, oozing confident green masculinity.

Our Verdict - Marrakesh

Marrakesh is a proper clean-cut crowd-pleaser. Forget the Middle Eastern associations - this is a fresh, mass-appealing scent that's versatile enough for just about anyone. It's safe, sharp, and surprisingly good value.
