Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Perseus EDP

Perseus is a divisive beast: some rave about its 'nuclear' fresh longevity and bright, modern citrus; others dismiss it as a sour, overpriced clone of Terre d'Hermes. Either way, it's a bold take on a classic profile, so don't blind buy.

Our Verdict - Philosia EDT

This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its fresh, green forest vibes, while others reckon it smells like stale bathroom cleaner. If you can get past the lacklustre performance, it's a unique scent that might just transport you. Others? They'll just smell hand soap.
