Which Should You Buy?
This legendary scent is divisive, thanks to reformulations, but for many, it's still pure 2000s nostalgia in a bottle. Expect a clean, masculine hit that projects confidence, even if some original magic is missing.
This is armchair travel for your nose - a budget-friendly trip back to the mid-2000s, channelling that iconic masculine freshness. You'll either love how it captures the vibe or dismiss it as a synthetic pretender. Still, you can't argue with value, if you can find it.

While some find it too strong for the office, current formulations are often described as weaker, making it more acceptable, but it's generally too casual for formal events.
