Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Play Eau de Parfum
If it's good enough for Michael Jordan, it's good enough for us. Lattafa Play is a fresh, fruity charmer that's surprisingly sophisticated for its price point.
Acquired
Our Verdict - L'Homme Lacoste Intense Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper grower, a 'cheapie but a goodie' that splits the crowd right down the middle on performance. Some get a skin scent in an hour, others an all-day banger. Unique for a mass-appealing scent, but it definitely ticks the 'sweet and youthful' box.
