Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sherif
This one's a proper troublemaker: a sweet, green apple-laden freshie that divides opinion. Some call it an absolute banger and a masterpiece dupe, while others reckon it's a sickly sweet 'nothing-burger' that smells like toilet cleaner. Choose your side, but don't expect subtlety.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Men in Blue
This one's a crowd-pleaser, delivering a fresh, woody hit that feels both modern and reassuringly familiar. A safe blind buy for anyone who fancies a reliable, versatile scent without breaking the bank.
