Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Uomo EDT
A benchmark in sweet, nutty masculines, Uomo's hazelnut-chocolate-vanilla swirl is both comforting and suave. Modern, smooth, and inviting, it balances gourmand indulgence with Italian sophistication.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 235 Valentino Uomo EDP
Nails Valentino Uomo's bergamot-myrtle open and leather-cedar base, but swaps the original's powdery iris-nutmeg heart for a sweeter hazelnut-chocolate-coffee accord, trading some elegance for gourmand warmth.
