Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 212 Sexy EDP
Divisive and bold, 212 Sexy splits opinion but consistently delivers intense, long-lasting presence. Calling it "sexy" is a bit on-the-nose (and controversial for some), but it’s undeniably a confident night-out scent that gets noticed.
Favourite
Our Verdict - First Intrinsic EDP
First Intrinsic chases Jean Paul Gaultier's Classique - the iconic soapy-powdery orange blossom wrapped in warm vanilla amber. It captures that vintage, clean-then-sweet signature, but renders it flatter and lighter, with the original's rich, room-filling powder pulled down to a softer, closer wear.
