The Verdict
Try 9PM for apple, cinnamon and vanilla sweetness: some wearers enjoy its fruity character, while others find its powdery sweetness too much. Try Ultra Male if pear with lavender, mint and woody vanilla appeals more. Sample the exact versions rather than choosing on a promised price ratio, identical scent or wear-time advantage.
