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.

Our Verdict - Emotion Men
This one's a proper chameleon: a harsh, old-school citrus opening that quickly transforms into a modern, barbershop-esque vanilla and tonka bean dream. It has strong echoes of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male, but manages to carve out its own niche as a surprisingly versatile cheapie.
