Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - HiM
A divisive beast, HiM is either a hidden gem of spicy-woody warmth, or a synthetic mess. Most will find it a cosy, understated autumn/winter option, but some will struggle with its cloying sweetness and lack of dynamism.
Statement
Our Verdict - Monte Leone Eminent
A warm, undeniably masculine blend that's a bit of a chameleon. It's got that mass appeal thing nailed, delivering a confident vibe without trying too hard. Solid choice for when you want to smell good and feel put-together, without any fuss.
