Where it differs: Declaration shares the dry spice and woody style but swaps the incense smoke for a sharper cumin and bitter orange, so it reads less churchy and more skin-warm.

Buy 2 Man ifyou want the cool incense smoke and mahogany as the main event.
Buy Declaration ifyou want a dry spicy woody that is easier to find.

Where it differs: Bentley Absolute is denser and sweeter, with a heavier resinous wood base, while 2 Man stays airy, aldehydic and transparent around its incense and vetiver.

Buy 2 Man ifyou prefer a light, ethereal incense you can wear anywhere.
Buy Bentley for Men Absolute ifyou want a darker, richer smoky wood on a budget.
No. 3
Holy Smoke

Where it differs: Holy Smoke is a simple, short-lived incense cologne with none of 2 Man's nutmeg, saffron, vetiver or leather, so it covers only the smoke and fades within an hour or two.

Buy 2 Man ifyou want the full spiced, vetiver and leather incense structure.
Buy Holy Smoke ifyou just want a cheap whiff of church incense.
