Which Should You Buy?
This one is a seriously divisive piece of kit. You'll either get a gorgeous, potent blast of old-school class, or it'll smell like an elderly relative's bathroom. Love-it-or-hate-it, but if you love it, you'll love it hard for its unique character.
This one's a Marmite scent - you'll either swoon over its retro charm or dismiss it as overpriced, underperforming 'bacon frazzles'. A traditional, spicy-woody offering that tries to embody Bond's classic sophistication, but it might leave you wanting more bang for your buck.

Occasions
