Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Polo Blue Eau de Toilette
The definition of modern aquatic masculinity, Polo Blue EDT is effortlessly fresh and uplifting. Never overbearing, it is the go-to for anyone seeking a breezy, clean signature that radiates understated confidence.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Nio Eau de Parfum
Nio is a divisive citrus-green powerhouse. For some, it's the ultimate refined summer freshie; for others, an overpriced cleaning product. Expect sharp, photorealistic green notes.
