Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Arbo Eau de Parfum
Arbo is a divisive but iconic green scent. It's either a fresh, invigorating forest expedition or an overly sweet, artificial mess. Performance-wise, expect average longevity but a respectable sillage that won't overpower a room.

Our Verdict - Polo Cologne Intense Eau de Parfum
Polo Cologne Intense aims for a modern take on a classic, but this flanker gets a mixed bag of reactions. Some laud its fresh, green revitalisation, while others dismiss it as a diluted, generic scent that barely lives up to the 'intense' in its name. Expect a clean but fleeting experience.
