Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Essencial Masculino Eau de Parfum
This Brazilian classic is a time-tested fougere that's still relevant. It's often compared to Drakkar Noir but with a smoother, more citrusy, and less dated appeal, making it a generally well-loved crowd-pleaser.

Our Verdict - Vespri Aromatico Eau de Parfum
Vespri Aromatico is a fresh, green aromatic that divides opinion right down the middle with its unique dill and fennel notes. For some, it's a zesty, invigorating masterpiece; for others, it's just 'okay' or even 'piercingly pungent'. Best sampled first to see which side you land on.
