Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kenzo pour Homme EDT
Kenzo Pour Homme is a divisive beast. It's either an aquatic masterpiece or a synthetic scrubber, but one thing's for sure: it's truly unique. Wear it and some will swoon, others will say you smell like old plastic. Never boring.

Our Verdict - Black EDT
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.
