Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 40 Knots EDP
Divisive and totally unexpected, 40 Knots is a chameleon that baffles with its true identity. Don't expect a fresh aquatic; brace yourself for a woody, salty, powdery journey that many find utterly captivating, and just as many find utterly confusing.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Spark EDT
Seriously, if you're after a fresh, clean marine scent with a bit of an earthy punch, Spark delivers. It's a solid, reliable choice that gets the job done without any fuss.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh and clean marine-woody profile makes it ideal for casual wear, sports, and generally well-suited for the office without being overbearing. While versatile, it might be a bit too relaxed for extremely formal events and perhaps not romantic enough for a hot date.
