Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss The Scent Absolute Eau de Parfum

A spicy-fruity seducer that balances warmth and freshness, The Scent Absolute is a plush and modern crowd-pleaser for cool weather and close encounters. Effortlessly likable and invitingly masculine.

Statement

Our Verdict - Mankind Eau de Toilette

Mankind is a cheap and cheerful crowd-pleaser for those who like a mass-appealing fresh, woody scent, but it won't impress anyone seeking originality. Many point to similarities with YSL L'Homme and Abercrombie Fierce, making it a safe choice with acceptable performance, especially for the price.
