Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - UDV
This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a cheap, synthetic mess. But for others, it's a bold, masculine masterpiece that punches way above its weight.
Statement
Our Verdict - Le Pamplemousse
This isn't your average juicy grapefruit scent. Le Pamplemousse is a divisive, herbal, and unapologetically bitter citrus, loved by those who appreciate its unique complexity and green earthiness.

Also Works:
