Which Should You Buy?
A gloriously herbal-woody tonic that bottles the Tuscan countryside. Effortless, brisk, and quietly sophisticated, this is the scent of sunlit pines and a cool Mediterranean breeze.
This Italian classic is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's a timeless, invigorating green aromatic, delivering a fresh barbershop experience. For others, it's a dated relic, smelling of 'pissy grandpa' or even 'petroleum'. You'll either get it or you won't.
