Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New Tradition
New Tradition is a mixed bag for sure. Some find it a beautifully blended classic, while others can't get past its retro, even dated, vibe. If you like your scents with a touch of old-school spice and florals, you'll probably love it; otherwise, steer clear.
Statement
Our Verdict - 1872 Mandarin
This one's a head-scratcher. It's a fresh, pleasant citrus that doesn't quite justify its price tag, leading to a divisive opinion among some, particularly around its unisex billing. You'll either shrug or be mildly annoyed.
