Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - F by Ferragamo Black Eau de Parfum
This one's a mixed bag, to be fair. Widely available and affordable, it's either a versatile, clean-spicy winner or a powder bomb that'll have you smelling like baby wipes. There's no middle ground with F Black.

Our Verdict - Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Purple Melancholia Eau de Toilette
This one is a coconut rollercoaster - some adore its creamy, spicy charm, others are just plain disgusted. It's divisive, synthetic to many, but if you love a loud, sweet coconut, it might just be your summer signature. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
