Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Man Glacial Essence Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive freshie. While some praise its 'icy' character and clean musk drydown, many find it generic and lament its poor performance. It's a safe choice, but don't expect groundbreaking originality or beast-mode projection.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Iridium Extrait
A divisive Iris scent that polarises opinions. Some find it a clean, edgy masterpiece with a futuristic, sterile vibe, while others decry its vanishing act and chemical unpleasantness. Approach with caution, a sample is essential for this one.
