Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - French Leather EDP
This is a fiercely divisive rose-suede beast, with a hefty price tag that makes the 'love it or hate it' crowd even more vocal. It's either an understated luxury or an old lady's handbag - no middle ground here.

Our Verdict - Big Atom For Men EDP
Perfume Parlour's nod to the discontinued Hugo Boss Elements. The reserved aromatic-spicy core - lavender, clary sage and a musky-leather base - is faithful, but Big Atom renders the original's earthy depth a touch flatter and the oakmoss-leather drydown lighter.
