Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fanfare EDC
This isn't just a classic cologne reboot; it's a vibrant, boozy citrus journey with a floral heart that divides opinion. Some find its floral sweetness a bit much, others hail it as pure, long-lasting joy. It's bold, distinctive, and definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Lacoste EDT
This 80s powerhouse is a divisive beast, a classic for some and a dated scrubber for others. If you appreciate a confident, green aromatic with a touch of soapy freshness, you might just find your new signature - provided you can get your hands on an original vintage bottle.
