Which Should You Buy?
This one is a seriously divisive piece of kit. You'll either get a gorgeous, potent blast of old-school class, or it'll smell like an elderly relative's bathroom. Love-it-or-hate-it, but if you love it, you'll love it hard for its unique character.
This 80s powerhouse is a divisive beast, lauded by some as a "masterpiece" and a "sleeping giant," while others find it "dated" and akin to "grandma's floral soap." It's an undeniable classic, but approach with caution if modern sensibilities are your thing.
