Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Solo Eau de Toilette
This one's a divisive dark horse. Some reckon it's a classy, unique leather-tea blend, a more serious take on the original Solo. Others find it an absolute scrubber, akin to 'toilet spray' or a 'dusty gymnasium'. Try before you buy, unless you're a gambling man.

Our Verdict - Memoir Man Eau de Parfum
Memoir Man is a deeply divisive blend of gothic green and smoky leather, with its once-legendary performance now a mere memory. Expect a unique, artistic scent that's either a mysterious masterpiece or a watery disappointment, depending on the batch and your luck.
