Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive creature, a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find it a masterpiece, a unique green-leather bomb with beastly performance. Others think it's an aggressive, headache-inducing mess that smells of old cigarettes or odd seafood. Definitely sample before committing.
Don't let the name fool you, there's nothing 'vintage' about Al Haramain's 'Classic'. It's a modern, elegant scent that'll have you feeling fresh and sophisticated, despite the dodgy atomizer. A surprisingly crowd-pleasing, well-blended gem that punches above its weight.
