Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Homme Lacoste EDP
A perfectly pleasant, versatile citrus-woody number. It's not reinventing the wheel and performance might be a bit meh for some, but if you want an easy-reach, inoffensive daily driver, this budget-friendly gem is a solid bet. Just don't go in expecting a beast.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Galaxy EDP
Galaxy chases Cacharel Amor Amor Tentation's spicy woodsy-floral and lands the zesty mandarin-and-jasmine signature well. It reads flatter and the sillage runs weaker than the already soft-projecting original, but the spiced cedar-vanilla drydown gives a convincing budget echo of a discontinued favourite.
