Which Should You Buy?
A subtle, woodier take on the classic Boss Bottled DNA, this flanker is a safe choice but might leave fans of the original wanting more. It's a modern, refined scent that splits opinion on whether it truly stands out.
This one's a proper crowd-pleaser, delivering a fresh, fruity and spicy kick that punches well above its weight for the price. Prepare for compliments, but also for a bit of a maceration wait to dial down that initial synthetic edge.
