Which Should You Buy?
A divisive old-school powerhouse, Bowling Green is either a 'heavenly green' or a 'dreadfully dated' scent. It's a robust aromatic chypre in the vein of Drakkar Noir, but leans into a potent fresh citrus and green accord that splits opinions.
This one's a fairly safe bet, a modern aromatic woody that's a bit of a crowd-pleaser. Don't expect groundbreaking originality though; it walks a well-trodden path with decent results, even if it lacks some depth.
