Which Should You Buy?
This flanker is a divisive one: some call it a diluted Profondo, others a superior, more mature take. It's an aromatic aquatic that leans greener and more woody than its siblings, making it a sophisticated alternative in the ADG line. Prepare for a hunt, though, as it's often discontinued.
512 | Inspired by Costa Azzurra recreates Tom Ford's salty driftwood-and-oud opening well, but the herbal citrus heart and incense-vetiver base come across noticeably softer and shorter-lived than the rich, sophisticated original.
