Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lafayette Street Eau de Parfum

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street is a divisive one, hyped by many as a mass-appealing, versatile masterpiece, but dismissed by others as overpriced and utterly generic. It's safe, sure, but whether it smells 'luxurious' or like cheap wet wipes depends entirely on your nose and your budget.

Our Verdict - Kite in Crystal Reef Parfum

This marine-fruity number is a refreshing summer staple, though its masculine lean and monster performance might not be for everyone. It's a modern take on a classic DNA that wins over many with its sheer pleasantness and invigorating sweetness.
