Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eau de Verveine Eau de Toilette

This is a proper old-school aromatic citrus, conjuring images of timeless grooming and nature walks. It's a classic that some will find comforting and sophisticated, while others might label it a bit too vintage or 'grandpa-ish'.

Our Verdict - No. 33 Cologne

Penhaligon's No. 33 is a deeply divisive scent, with some hailing it as a subtle masterpiece while others dismiss it as weak and forgettable. Its performance is a significant sticking point, though those who love it praise its refined, calming character.
