Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive trip down memory lane. For some, it's a classy, old-school chypre with a timeless appeal; for others, it's a dated, soapy struggle, with notes reminiscent of airplane lavatories. Definitely not a blind buy.
This one's a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its bracing, herbal complexity or recoil from the potent fennel-myrrh punch. It’s got an old-school barbershop vibe that splits opinion, but those who 'get' it rave about its unique balance of fresh and warm.
