Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Yardley Gentleman Classic
This one is a divisive but budget-friendly throwback. If you're after a mature, masculine scent that harks back to classic barbershops, with surprising longevity for the price, you'll love it. But beware, some find the dry-down a bit 'old socks' or distinctly old-school.
Statement
Our Verdict - Amsterdam
Divisive yet intriguing, Amsterdam is for those who dare to be different. It’s got a loyal following who adore its unique floral spiciness, but others find it simply baffling, even a bit odd. Definitely not a blind buy.
