Which Should You Buy?
A modern classic that doubles down on the original's legendary scent profile. Expect compliments and perhaps a bit of online drama, but know you're rocking a true icon that some say even outshines its vintage counterparts.
This early-2000s gem from Olivier Cresp is a surprisingly sophisticated, warm-spicy oriental. A love-it-or-hate-it scent for some, but generally considered a beautifully blended, undervalued classic that often gets unfairly compared to its contemporaries. Don't sleep on this one.
