Which Should You Buy?
Don't let the name or '70s vibe fool you - Jovan Sex Appeal is a divisive, nostalgic beast, but it's punching well above its price point. It's a love-it-or-hate-it spicy oriental that some find sophisticated and others deeply uncool.
Oliver Peoples by Byredo offers a refined blend of woody and citrus notes with a subtle touch of musk, perfect for various occasions requiring modern elegance.
