Which Should You Buy?
This one's a wild card - you'll either love or loathe its unapologetic intensity. Don't even *think* about blind buying; this beast demands a test drive. If you're after something daring and distinctive, prepare for a polarising journey.
498 goes after the raspberry-and-leather contrast that made Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather so distinctive, but the leather accord here is smoother and more generic, missing the original's raw, almost animalic suede intensity.
