Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Foconero
This polarizing scent offers a vibrant, salty citrus blast - some love it as a high-quality freshie that outshines designer alternatives, while others find it generic, medicinal, or even 'diluted piss'. Definitely don't blind buy unless you like surprises.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Possess The Secret Man
A solid, budget-friendly Invictus-style scent that divides opinion. Some find the opening harsh but many rate it as a versatile, compliments-getting everyday fragrance, especially considering the price.
