Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Pepper & Amber, Neroli EDP
This one's a proper spicy amber sensation, a real crowd-pleaser that punches above its weight. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but many reckon it's a solid, distinctive scent with serious staying power.

Our Verdict - Alien Fusion EDP
A flanker so good it arguably eclipses the original. Alien Fusion is a spicy, warm floral that retains the Alien DNA while dialling up the cosiness. The biggest tragedy? It's discontinued, leaving fans begging for its return.
