Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hercules Eau de Parfum
If you're after a budget-friendly PDM Herod proxy, this is it, but patience is key. Give it a few months to macerate and it transforms from a synthetic mess into a surprisingly smooth, sweet tobacco bomb. Performance is hit-or-miss, so manage your expectations.
Favourite
