Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Swiss Army Eau de Parfum
This 90s classic is a divisive little number. Some adore its fresh, green charm and claim it's a compliment magnet, while others find it screechy, dated, and reminiscent of cheap aftershave or even Windex. A true love-it-or-hate-it cheapie.

Our Verdict - Menthe Fraiche Eau de Parfum
A divisive mint. You'll either get photorealistic crushed mint leaves and green tea, or a synthetic mess that vanishes in an hour. Performance issues aside, this is an expensive gamble for some, and a fresh summer staple for others.
