Which Should You Buy?
Polo Green is a legendary powerhouse - a forest in a bottle, projecting confidence and old-school masculinity with its dense blend of pine, leather, tobacco and moss.
Drakkar Noir is the 1980s benchmark aromatic fougere - a green, herbal blast of lavender and wormwood over a mossy, woody base. Eden's No.286 keeps the same dense herbal-fougere skeleton but renders it a touch flatter and less refined, so two sprays genuinely go a long way.
