Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Malbec Bleu
A solid freshie for those who enjoy a clean, shower-gel vibe, though its synthetic edge and moderate performance make it a divisive choice. Don't expect a revelation, but it does the job for everyday wear.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Amber Oud Carbon Edition
This is a seriously divisive scent. Some say it's an elevated Cool Water, a 'beast mode freshie' for those who value longevity. Others find it synthetic, headache-inducing, and even reminiscent of BO or air fresheners. You probably won't be indifferent.
