Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Born To Be Unforgettable EDP
This one is as divisive as it gets. You'll either get an incredibly realistic, sparkling cola-lime that evolves into a spicy, woody base, or a repulsive, synthetic mess that dries down to an unwearable 'blue' scent. Not for a blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Soft Solely Complete For Men EDP
A budget take on Givenchy's discontinued Gentlemen Only Absolute - the same warm cinnamon-and-saffron spice melting into creamy vanilla and sandalwood. Soft Solely Complete lands that spicy-sweet, cosy character but reads a touch flatter and sweeter, missing some of the refined elegance and 8-hour wear of the cult original.
