Which Should You Buy?
Yatagan is a scent for proper blokes. It's a challenging, unapologetically masculine classic that splits opinion between an 'old school masterpiece' and 'celery and bug spray'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're up for it, it screams confident swagger.
Electimuss' Black Caviar is a wildly divisive scent. You'll either love its unique salty aquatic tang and herbal freshness, or recoil from a perceived 'fishy' or 'medicinal' stench. Definitely not a blind buy, but a masterpiece to those who get it.
