Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nobile 26 EDP

This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some folks rave about its unique character, while others are scrubbing it off within minutes. Expect a heavy, spicy ride that leans masculine, but don't expect it to be a crowd-pleaser for everyone.

Statement

Our Verdict - A*Men Ultra Zest EDT

Seriously polarising and ridiculously hyped, Ultra Zest is an orange creamsicle that divides opinions sharply. Some absolutely adore its unique citrus-gourmand blend, while others find it too sweet, too fleeting, or just not impactful enough to justify the price gouging.
