Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Najdia

Look, it's cheap as chips and pulls compliments, but there's a serious debate about its performance and whether it's more 'invigorating' or 'headache-inducing'. If you're after a budget-friendly Invictus-style freshie and don't mind over-spraying, give it a go. Otherwise, save your cash.

Our Verdict - First Instinct Blue

A solid, approachable 'blue' scent with mass appeal, especially at discounter prices. Don't expect beast-mode performance; this is a fleeting but pleasant experience often compared to Dylan Blue or the A&F classic Fierce.

Its fresh, aquatic, and sweet profile makes it a fantastic fit for casual and sport settings, often noted as a 'gym scent' by reviewers. However, its often described strong projection and synthetic qualities mean it's less suited for formal or office environments where subtlety is key.

Date

Its clean, fresh, and inoffensive profile makes it excellent for office and casual wear, including the gym. The general consensus on its poor longevity and sillage makes it unsuitable for formal events and less ideal for dates where you want the scent to last.
