Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Drakkar Noir Eau de Toilette

A truly timeless, sophisticated, and underappreciated classic that often gets overshadowed by its famous flanker. Drakkar is a clean, masculine scent with an air of effortless French elegance.

Our Verdict - 1775 Classic For Men Eau de Toilette

This one's a definite hit-or-miss. For some, it's a wonderfully fresh and clean budget gem; for others, it's a harsh, chemical disappointment with terrible performance. Don't blind buy, and don't expect anything groundbreaking - it's a bog-standard 'blue' scent.
