Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The One Gentleman
This flanker to the original The One is a truly divisive scent. Some hail it as a sophisticated, mature take-a quintessential 'gentleman's' fragrance-while others dismiss it as a disappointing, bland, or even unpleasant misfire with poor performance. If you're after something quiet and refined, it might be worth a sniff.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb Extreme
A powerful, warm spicy blend that merges vanilla and tobacco for a sophisticated finish. Ideal for confident wearers in cooler settings.
