Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Swiss Army Eau de Parfum
This 90s classic is a divisive little number. Some adore its fresh, green charm and claim it's a compliment magnet, while others find it screechy, dated, and reminiscent of cheap aftershave or even Windex. A true love-it-or-hate-it cheapie.

Our Verdict - Kaiak Urbe Eau de Parfum
This one's a fresh, clean, and surprisingly natural smelling everyday scent that punches well above its weight for the price. It's an underrated gem that'll have you feeling confident and put-together without breaking the bank.
