Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cobra
This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. While it's got a loyal following for its nostalgic charm and undeniable similarity to a certain famous 'poisonous' scent, a fair few find it an unpleasant, cheap imitation. Not one for a blind buy, then, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Our Verdict - White Diamonds Lustre
A divisive flanker that aims for 'modern' but splits opinion right down the middle. Some find it a youthful, sweet take on the original; others get a musty, cheap tartness. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite what some say.
