Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Virilis EDP
A divisive take on a popular scent profile. If you like sweet vanilla-heavy fragrances with a fresh twist, this is decent after it's had a good maceration. Expect beast-mode performance.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ultraviolet Man EDT
This early noughties trailblazer is still turning heads, delivering a unique, synthetic yet captivating blend. While some lament reformulations have dimmed its performance, its fresh-sweet-spicy character remains a cult favourite for its futuristic charm.
