Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Vitae Forte
This one's a wildcard. Some rave about its unique citrus-spice creaminess, calling it a masterpiece. Others recoil, picking up on a cloying sweetness, or finding it too masculine/feminine. Definitely a try-before-you-buy situation, but its potent sillage ensures you'll make an impression.

Our Verdict - Hunter Men
This budget-friendly freshie is a wildly divisive clone. Some rave about its fresh, clean vibes and impressive performance, whilst others are left nauseated by what they call a synthetic, sour mess. Give it a shot if you're not easily offended by cheap thrills. After all, it's dirt cheap.
