Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blenheim Bouquet EDT
A timeless British cologne built around electrifying citrus and pine, Blenheim Bouquet is crisp, refined, and invigorating, but subtle in projection and longevity. Still a gold standard for classic masculine freshness.

Our Verdict - L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Oceanic Expedition EDP
This flanker offers a compelling-yet-divisive alternative to the original L'Eau d'Issey. Prepare for an invigorating grapefruit and ginger blast backed by marine freshness. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but many reckon it's even better than the OG despite the mixed reviews.
