Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a grandad scent, leaning heavily into a classic barbershop vibe. While some find it refined and sophisticated, others might struggle with its old-school charm and powdery dry-down. Definitely not for the modern crowd, unless you're aiming for ironic.
Phtaloblue is Tauer's most divisive creation to date, a love-it-or-hate-it aquatic that defies traditional blue fragrance expectations. It's a bold, artistic statement, but be warned: some find it an absolute scrubber, while others adore its unique, evocative qualities.
