Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Giordani Gold Man
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a sophisticated evolution of a classic, others a bitter, short-lived disappointment. Don't blind buy, as performance seems to vary wildly.

Our Verdict - Aqua Memorabilis
This Jovoy release is sending out mixed signals, making it a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some reckon it's a stellar, grown-up citrus for summer, while others are left scratching their heads, calling it generic or even a bit nasty. Definitely one to try before you buy, if you want to avoid a shocker.
