Which Should You Buy?
Don't let the name fool you - this isn't a smouldering volcano in a bottle. Expect a fresh, clean, surprisingly versatile sandalwood with a zesty kick, though its 'barbershop' vibe might not be for everyone. It's divisive, with some finding it a staple and others deeming it generic.
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.
