Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Masculin Pluriel EDT
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some swear by its classic charm and modern barbershop vibe, while others are left wanting more for the price. If you want silky lavender and that clean, shaven feel, it delivers, but prepare for debates over its performance - 'beast mode' it ain't.

Our Verdict - Purely Orient Vetiver EDP
A truly gorgeous vetiver, but for the love of God, don't pay full price. It's an elevated Encre Noire for those with deep pockets and a taste for the dense, earthy, and green. Lovers are passionate, but the price tag is a common sticking point.
