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 - Verdant Fig EDT
This easy-going green scent is divisive - either a simple, clean, crowd-pleasing daily driver, or a bit too plain. Don't expect a strong fig, but a fresh, minimalist woody green vibe. It's a solid, understated pick if you're after something versatile for a steal.
