Yardley Gentleman Classic

Which Should You Buy?
This EDT is a divisive beast: some rave about its fresh, creamy spice, others smell cleaning products or worse. Despite the controversy, its impressive performance for an EDT makes it a cult classic, with many finding it a sophisticated, sexy signature scent.
This one is a divisive but budget-friendly throwback. If you're after a mature, masculine scent that harks back to classic barbershops, with surprising longevity for the price, you'll love it. But beware, some find the dry-down a bit 'old socks' or distinctly old-school.
