Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Sumou Platinum Eau de Parfum
This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some reckon it's a solid, woody-sweet take on the blue fragrance genre, while others find it a cloying, 'jammy' mess. You'll either love it as a beefed-up take on Dylan Blue or wonder if you've been sold a duff bottle.

Our Verdict - Boss Bottled Eau de Parfum
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Hugo Boss's Boss Bottled (1998) - Annick Menardo's apple-cinnamon-sandalwood signature that defined office-masculine for two decades, here translated into a budget reading with the apple-cinnamon-sandalwood spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for office and date-day wear.
