Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Invasion Barbare Eau de Parfum
A divisive barbershop, this one. Some swear it's a genre-defining masterpiece, a modern fougere elevated to art. Others find it an overpriced, medicinal mess with too much vanilla. One thing's for sure: it's anything but boring. Sample before you commit to the hefty price tag.

Our Verdict - L'Homme Eau de Parfum
This Morillas creation is a classic, though it shows its age a bit. It is a fresh, clean charmer that people still love for its soothing nature, despite the performance being a bit of a mixed bag. Not a groundbreaking scent, but solid for the price.
