Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Confidential Platinum Eau de Parfum

A solid, affordable freshie with mass appeal that punches above its weight, especially after a good maceration. While some find performance lacking, for the price, it's an easy reach for everyday freshness, hitting that coveted 'blue fragrance' sweet spot.
