Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cap Neroli
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it kind of neroli. It's got that classic cologne feel but with some earthy, indolic twists that make it far from a 'clean' citrus. Expect strong opinions, whether 'gorgeous' or 'nauseating'.

Our Verdict - Special 127
A divisive yet historically significant citrus aromatic. Some find it a timeless, clean barbershop classic, worthy of Churchill. Others detect a dated, overly soapy quality, likening it to bathroom cleaner. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but undeniably carries a certain vintage charm.

The fresh and clean citrus-aromatic profile makes it excellent for casual wear or sport. Its subtle projection makes it non-offensive for the office, while its classic barbershop vibe offers a touch of formality. It's perhaps too understated for a bold date night scent.
