Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gold
This is a divisive one. It's affordable, loud and bold, but for some it's a classy scent with mass appeal, whilst for others, it's just 'Dial soap' or a masculine train wreck. It's got fans but it's not a safe blind buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Maze
This one is a properly sophisticated all-rounder, blending citrus freshness with a warm, woody base. It's a harmonious scent that manages to be both elegant and versatile, though a surprising medicinal or minty edge might throw some off.
