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 - Papyrus Oud 71 EDP
This is Michel Almairac's love letter to his own creation, the legendary Gucci Pour Homme (2003). It’s divisive; some say it perfects the original, others that the 'oud' note ruins it. Expect dry, woody, and intensely aromatic elegance, but know that some find the dry-down cloying.
