Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bowling Green EDP

A divisive old-school powerhouse, Bowling Green is either a 'heavenly green' or a 'dreadfully dated' scent. It's a robust aromatic chypre in the vein of Drakkar Noir, but leans into a potent fresh citrus and green accord that splits opinions.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Viking Cologne EDC

Viking Cologne is a fresh, modern take on a classic masculine fougere. While praised for its invigorating citrus opening and sophisticated barber shop dry down, its performance can be polarising, with some experiencing great longevity while others are left wanting more.
