Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fourreau Noir Eau de Parfum
This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either find it a seductive, dark, and elegant lavender masterpiece or a surprisingly unoriginal 'dad's aftershave' that's overtly masculine. It's certainly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little middle ground.

Our Verdict - Charisma Pour Homme Eau de Parfum
Seriously, the hype is real with Charisma Pour Homme; it's a stellar Elixir-alike that delivers way above its price point. It's a sweet, attention-grabbing monster that will have you smelling delicious.
