Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Essencial Sentir Eau de Parfum
This one's a mixed bag. On the one hand, a fresh, modern woody citrus that's great for everyday wear; on the other, a performance that divides opinion wildly. It's a crowd-pleaser that won't make a dent in your wallet, but don't expect it to last 'til morning.

Our Verdict - Bayolea Eau de Toilette
Penhaligon's Bayolea is a classic barbershop scent reimagined for modern tastes. It's a crisp, green, and uniquely spicy take on fresh citrus, though opinions vary on whether the lemongrass is a brilliant twist or an overpowering element. A surprisingly polarising freshie, but unequivocally high quality.
