Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Romance for Men EDT
This discontinued 90s stunner is still capable of making knees go weak and starting romantic journeys if you can get hold of a bottle. Despite a name that promises romance, it's a classy, versatile, and distinctly masculine aromatic woody that punches way above its weight.
Favourite
Our Verdict - RL195 Polo Green EDP
This is the classic 1978 Polo formula, prized by vintage fans for its sharp green-herbal opening and leather-oakmoss base, and RL195 does a solid job of bringing that old-school chypre character back - the dupe's herbal top is a shade less complex than the original's dense, near-fifty-note pyramid.
