Which Should You Buy?
This one's a blast from the past, a punchy, high-quality take on classic Drakkar Noir. If you're after that iconic 80s masculine scent profile, Swiss Arabian has absolutely nailed it - and with serious staying power too. It's not for the unisex crowd, but a firm winner for those who appreciate old-school charm.
A legendary, classic Italian citrus that has sadly been butchered by reformulations. The vintage is a sophisticated, masculine scent embodying timeless elegance, while modern versions struggle to capture its original magic.
