Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois du Portugal EDP
Bois du Portugal is undeniably 'old money' a classic gentleman's scent that, despite some calling it 'grandpa-ish', largely gets a pass due to its sheer quality. It's a divisive one for age, but praised for its timeless class and masterful blend.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Viking EDP
Rebel's Viking chases Creed Viking's clean citrus-aromatic-woods profile and gets the fresh, everyday-wearable shape right, but the sandalwood-vetiver base is thinner and less refined than Creed's silage-heavy, long-lasting original.
