Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Bottled Intense EDP
This one's a divisive throwback. Some reckon it's a nostalgic, sensual apple pie; others find it a synthetic, bubblegum-sweet mess. Either way, it's a stronger take on a classic, if you can find it.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Boss Bottled 20th Anniversary Edition EDT
A reliable, slightly fruitier spin on a classic. It's a crowd-pleaser that won't offend, perfect for those who want a familiar scent with a touch more zest, though don't expect it to rock your world.
