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.
Mustang Blue is a divisive beast: some find it a delightful, nostalgic freshie for everyday wear, while others are repulsed by what they describe as a chemical, wet dog scent. Try before you buy, as opinions are clearly split.
