Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ultra Male EDT
A divisive, loud, sweet, and undeniably playful beast-mode fragrance that's either a masterful clubbing tool or a saccharine nightmare. Love it or hate it, Ultra Male demands attention.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Qannas EDP
A smooth, sweeter take on Ultra Male DNA, with a fresh green apple twist. While the performance might not be 'eternal' as some questionable ratings suggest, it's a solid, compliment-getting choice that punches above its weight.
