Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Polo Explorer EDP
A tragically discontinued gem, Polo Explorer is either revered as a unique woody-leather masterpiece or dismissed for its fleeting performance. It's divisive, but those who love it, really, really love it.
Statement
Our Verdict - Danger Zone EDP
Danger Zone dupes Roja Dove's Danger Pour Homme, leading with the same animalic cumin-castoreum heart over a woody amber base. It is louder and more aggressive on first spray than the polished original, with the extrait strength giving strong projection but a somewhat simpler, less refined dry-down.
