Which Should You Buy?
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.
Afnan 9am Dive is a 'blue' freshie that's either a versatile, mass-appealing banger for the price or a synthetic headache, depending on your skin chemistry and how long you've let it 'macerate'. Prepare for compliments if it works for you.
