Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Santos de Cartier Eau de Parfum
A divisive old-school classic, Santos de Cartier is an intoxicating blend of woody spice that some hail as a masterpiece of masculine elegance, while others find it dated, heavy, or just plain weird. It's a journey back to the 80s for better or worse.
Statement
Our Verdict - Sung Homme Eau de Parfum
This one is a divisive gem. Sung Homme is a beast of an old-school clean fragrance; a blast of hyper-masculine, soapy nostalgia that you'll either adore for its undeniable character or recoil from as dated. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a steal.
