Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Match Point EDT

This one's a divisive hit-or-miss, depending on whether you're after a classic green freshness or find it a bit too 'old-school aftershave'. Expect mass appeal for some, head-scratching for others.

Our Verdict - Acqua di Selva EDC

This Italian classic is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's a timeless, invigorating green aromatic, delivering a fresh barbershop experience. For others, it's a dated relic, smelling of 'pissy grandpa' or even 'petroleum'. You'll either get it or you won't.
