Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Extreme EDP

This one's a modern classic, divisive only by its weaker current formulation. The vintage was a beast and still represents understated elegance for those who know; newer batches still deliver the sophisticated tea-and-citrus freshness, just with less brawn.

Our Verdict - 212 Men EDT

Divisive yet undeniably iconic, 212 Men is a fresh, green time capsule. Some declare it a timeless masterpiece, others a dated relic. If you're after that unmistakable pre-social media NYC swagger, this could be your juice.
