Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper mixed bag, isn't it? For some, it's a classy, versatile gem punching well above its price tag, a refined "gentleman's scent" that performs. For others, it's a generic, synthetic mess that evokes cheap aftershave. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite what some reviewers say.
No.590 targets Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver, a benchmark smoky-earthy vetiver. Community reviews describe the dupe as smoothed-out and gentler - the vetiver's earthy, slightly soapy grit is toned down into something safer and less textured, so it works as an easy everyday woody but misses the original's distinctive dry, mineral edge.
