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 - Hibiscus Eau de Parfum
Hibiscus is a budget-friendly tropical fruit cocktail in a bottle - juicy and playful, perfect for summer. Just don't let the name fool you, there's no actual hibiscus in sight, and some find it a bit too synthetic or fleeting, but most agree it's a mood-lifting, compliment-getting holiday vibe.
