Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive freshie. While some praise its 'icy' character and clean musk drydown, many find it generic and lament its poor performance. It's a safe choice, but don't expect groundbreaking originality or beast-mode projection.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find it a masterpiece of dark artistry; others reckon it smells like a burnt skip fire in a pickle factory. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're into rugged, challenging scents, this might just be your new obsession.
