Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Avant Garde
If you're after a clean, fresh, and elegant scent without breaking the bank, Avant Garde is your shout. It’s got that crowd-pleasing, office-friendly vibe, though some find the drydown a bit dusty. Overall, a solid bet for a versatile everyday fragrance.

Our Verdict - Best
This one's a bit of a slow burn. The opening citrus can be a sharp smack to the face, but if you've got the patience for the dry-down, you'll be rewarded with something rather lovely and clean. Perfect if you want to smell like posh toiletries.
