Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Invasion Barbare
A divisive barbershop, this one. Some swear it's a genre-defining masterpiece, a modern fougere elevated to art. Others find it an overpriced, medicinal mess with too much vanilla. One thing's for sure: it's anything but boring. Sample before you commit to the hefty price tag.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Radical Blue Man
A reliable, crowd-pleasing freshie that punches above its price point. It might be a touch synthetic, but it certainly hits the mark for mass appeal, especially if you're after that Invictus or Dylan Blue vibe without breaking the bank.
