Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Man
A divisive scent for sure. For some, it's a solid, sweet, and spicy crowd-pleaser that punches above its price point. For others, it's a screechy, synthetic hangover. If you like sweet-spicy with a bit of grape-soda quirk, it might be your affordable gem.
Statement
Our Verdict - New York
A divisive classic that splits opinion between masterful, classy sophistication and 'old man' datedness. Some find it a timeless, versatile masterpiece, while others are put off by its traditional, powdery nature or performance issues in newer formulations.
