Which Should You Buy?
This legendary fougere has become a mythical beast due to its discontinuation, with prices bordering on the absurd. Is it worth tracking down? It's a classic for a reason: bold, fresh, and unapologetically masculine, a benchmark for the genre that still holds up. Don't fall for the hype prices, though.
This 80s relic is seriously divisive. Some find it a clean, nostalgic barbershop scent, a cheapie gem with surprising projection. Others decry it as dated, cloying, and frankly, obnoxious. You'll either love its vintage charm or run screaming.
