Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Power Cologne Cologne

Kenzo Power Cologne is a surprisingly divisive scent that some hail as a masterpiece, while others dismiss it as smelling like body odour. It’s a clean yet spicy floral-aromatic that, despite its name, performs admirably for a cologne.

Our Verdict - Homem Essence Eau de Parfum

Natura Homem Essence is a well-regarded, versatile BDC-adjacent scent that brings a fresh, appealing complexity. It's a reliable crowd-pleaser, particularly popular in Brazil for its solid performance and quality-for-price.
