Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black

This one's a bit of an identity crisis - called "Black" but smells vibrantly green, fresh, and citrusy. If you're looking for an affordable, inoffensive freshie, this is a solid bet, but don't expect it to last for ages. The community loves its clean, uplifting scent but bemoans its often-lacklustre performance.

Our Verdict - Vetiver Myth

This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. Some find it intriguingly unique, almost gourmand, while others dismiss it as a dated, generic "men's cologne" and a weak dupe. Definitely not for everyone.
