Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bergamot and Cedarwood

This one's a blast from the past, a punchy, high-quality take on classic Drakkar Noir. If you're after that iconic 80s masculine scent profile, Swiss Arabian has absolutely nailed it - and with serious staying power too. It's not for the unisex crowd, but a firm winner for those who appreciate old-school charm.

Our Verdict - Vetiver

Floris Vetiver is a proper grown-up scent; it's a classy, understated British take on vetiver that's surprisingly sexy and complex. Not a raw, dirty vetiver, but a smooth operator with a timeless appeal, though some find its spicy start a bit much.

Also Works:

Casual

Its moderate sillage and superb longevity make it suitable for office and formal wear, providing a classy backdrop without overpowering. The understated elegance and 'polite' vetiver also make it a good, mature choice for dates, but not for casual or sport settings where something more robust or fresh might be preferred.
