  1. Montblanc

    Legend

    91/100

  2. Creed

    Original Santal's tonka bean sweetens the tobacco leaf in London for Men, and both carry oakmoss.

    Spray London for Men first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Original Santal on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  3. Givenchy

    London for Men's leather turns smooth and powdery with Gentleman Eau de Toilette's iris, with lavender in both.
