Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grown-up scent, polarising some with its classic barbershop vibe but adored by others for its sophisticated, masculine charm. A complex fougère that blends tradition with a refined touch, though its subtlety won't please those craving a powerhouse beast.
Greek Origins chases the legendary YSL Kouros: the herbal-spicy opening, floral geranium-jasmine heart and musky, animalic amber base all read as a clear homage. It tames the original's notorious civet snarl and explosive sillage, wearing softer and skin-close, but as a budget cold-weather classic it captures Kouros's powdery, masculine character without the marmite intensity or the price.
