Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 154 Cologne

This isn't just a classic for Jo Malone, it's a classy, versatile number some call underrated. The community is split on its performance, but generally agree it's a sophisticated, fresh scent with a woody, aromatic dry down. A real gem, if you can find it.

Our Verdict - Viking Cologne

Viking Cologne is a fresh, modern take on a classic masculine fougere. While praised for its invigorating citrus opening and sophisticated barber shop dry down, its performance can be polarising, with some experiencing great longevity while others are left wanting more.
