Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grower, mind. It starts a bit challenging with a rubbery, almost medicinal kick, but if you stick with it, 500 Years blossoms into a dark, luxurious rose-and-cacao affair. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those who get it, it's an addictive, enigmatic beast.
This one's a divisive oud-saffron bomb that some absolutely adore for its smoky, leathery depth and beast-mode performance, while others find the saffron muted and the overall impression a bit one-note. Expect opulent warmth, but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
