Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kenzo Homme
Kenzo Homme EDT is an iconic throwback, dividing opinion between those who adore its unique fresh, woody aquatic vibe and those who unfortunately detect something far less pleasant. A nostalgic trip for many, but definitely one to sample before committing.

Our Verdict - Cool Water Wave
This one's a classic aquatic freshie, perfect if you're after something cheap and cheerful for the summer. It's clean, inoffensive, and punches above its weight for the price, even if it does need reapplying for more than an hour or two of wear.
