Late Night Drive is the bold option in Hollister's new cologne range. The product page describes crisp sage merging with black pepper for a smooth, bold scent, which makes it the only spicy choice among the current Hollister colognes and a better fit for fall, winter and evenings than the beach-themed scents. It shares the line's single 1.7 fl oz size and price, and it is in the six-vial Discovery Kit. It scores lower on experience than Ocean Break and Pacific Cliff because a peppery scent is less of an all-day, every-season choice, and like the rest of the Hollister range we could not verify a USD price because hollisterco.com blocked our automated check. Canyon Escape is the cheaper verified alternative if you want pepper and sage in a bigger bottle. We compared published notes, sizes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
