Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 40 Knots Eau de Parfum

Divisive and totally unexpected, 40 Knots is a chameleon that baffles with its true identity. Don't expect a fresh aquatic; brace yourself for a woody, salty, powdery journey that many find utterly captivating, and just as many find utterly confusing.

Our Verdict - Kenzo Homme Eau de Toilette

Kenzo Homme EDT is an iconic throwback, dividing opinion between those who adore its unique fresh, woody aquatic vibe and those who unfortunately detect something far less pleasant. A nostalgic trip for many, but definitely one to sample before committing.
