Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nio Eau de Parfum
Nio is a divisive citrus-green powerhouse. For some, it's the ultimate refined summer freshie; for others, an overpriced cleaning product. Expect sharp, photorealistic green notes.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Man Extreme Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous citrus-woody number, let down by a performance so tragic it's almost legendary. Everyone adores the scent, but the general consensus is that it vanishes faster than a free round at the pub.
