Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noora Onyx
This one's a divisive Drakkar Noir clone, with some smelling 'bug spray and rubber' and others loving its unique, gender-bending fougère character. It's potent, so expect to be noticed - for better or worse.

Our Verdict - Amber Alive
A divisive scent for the modern man, Amber Alive is either a cracking tribute to vintage Drakkar Noir or a synthetic mess. It's potent, long-lasting, and screams '80s powerhouse', so if that's your vibe, this could be your new signature. Just be mindful of that atomizer.
