Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Only The Brave EDT
Only The Brave is a crowd-pleasing blend of citrus and leather, radiating youthful confidence with its punchy opening and smooth, ambery base. A modern masculine that's easy to wear yet memorable.
Statement
Our Verdict - Yacht Club EDP
This one's a bit of a chameleon, often starting off like baby wipes and ending up as a warm, sophisticated embrace. Don't expect aquatics, despite the name; think lush, purple florals paired with a honeyed, amber base. It's a surprisingly complex wear for its price point.
