Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eau Sauvage Cologne
A modern, zesty citrus blast that gets the job done for hotter days. It's divisive, with some loving its fresh energy and others finding it too synthetic or simply preferring the original. Performance for a 'cologne' concentration is surprisingly decent, though some find it fleeting.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lantern Reed Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Expect a divisive green-citrus opening that morphs into something unexpectedly animalistic before settling into a powdery, smoky dry-down. Definitely not for a blind buy.
