Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 40 Knots EDP
Divisive and totally unexpected, 40 Knots is a chameleon that baffles with its true identity. Don't expect a fresh aquatic; brace yourself for a woody, salty, powdery journey that many find utterly captivating, and just as many find utterly confusing.

Our Verdict - Orient EDP
This one's a fresh, classic gem that's surprisingly modern. It’s got that crowd-pleasing vibe, giving you confidence and a bit of fun without breaking the bank. Don't expect a perfect clone of Egoiste Platinum, but it's close enough to capture its spirit.
