Which Should You Buy?
This one's a wildcard. While it opens fresh and promising, a strong medicinal, chemical drydown means it's not going to be for everyone. You'll either love how it develops or find yourself reaching for something else entirely.
A divisive clone to 'the blue king'. Maître de Blue either offers 'olfactory orgasm' levels of smooth, versatile scent for a steal, or it's a screechy, synthetic chemical cleaner that burns the nose and disappears in a flash. Expect performance to be hit or miss, and a scent profile that's a bit rough around the edges.
