Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aoud Violet
Seriously divisive, this one. Some absolutely adore its fresh, clean masculinity; others smell nothing but synthetic mess or unpleasant 'old school' vibes. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so don't blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Mercedes Benz Man Intense
This one is a classic crowd-pleaser that won't break the bank; a solid modern blue scent. It's not revolutionary, but its mass appeal and decent performance make it a smart choice for those wanting the popular 'blue' masculine DNA without shelling out for designer alternatives.
