Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Bottled Tonic EDT
Bracing citrus and crisp ginger give Boss Bottled Tonic a vibrant, sporty twist on the classic Bottled DNA. Impeccably safe and office-friendly, but fleeting and linear. For men who want to feel sharp and refreshed, not daring.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Chief Drink EDP
Chief Drink copies Hugo Boss Bottled Tonic - the same iced apple-and-citrus fizz with a ginger-spice kick over light woods. The original already projects softly and fades fast, and this budget version is lighter and flatter still - an easy, clean daytime splash.
