Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Re-charge Black Pepper

Molton Brown's Re-charge Black Pepper delivers a spirited, spice-forward kick, though its impact mellows quickly. It's a clean, masculine scent that many love, but some find it falls short of its fiery name in the drydown, ultimately settling into something more subtle.

Our Verdict - Stockholm 1978

Stockholm 1978 is a divisive scent: a promising herbal-citrus opening gives way to a powdery, mossy dry down that many find reminiscent of baby wipes. It's unique, but whether that's a good thing is up to your nose.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its clean, soapy nature makes it a decent casual wear, but its divisive character means it's not a safe bet for formal or date settings. Performance is varied according to reviews, with some finding it light and others noting its scrub-resistance, suggesting it leans towards moderate for most settings.
