Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued 70s treasure is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find its complex, animalic chypre character utterly captivating, a truly classic scent that commands attention. Others are put off by its challenging green and civet notes, finding it a bit too much for modern tastes.
This one's a proper cult classic, but be warned: the 1991 reformulation is still a green powerhouse, though some purists might sniff at it compared to the original. It's divisive, sharp, and certainly not for everyone, but if you love a truly 'green' scent, you'll be hooked.
