Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grown-up scent, divisive as hell but with a passionate following. You'll either get the hype of this classic, masculine powerhouse or you'll think it smells like an old bloke's aftershave before he clipped his nose hairs. It takes a certain wearer, but it's pure class for those who get it.
This one's a proper grown-up scent, divisive for its mature character and hit-or-miss performance. It's often praised as a classic and unique offering from Boss, but some find it dated or simply too fleeting to matter. A proper 'love it or leave it' juice.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
