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.
A joyous burst of citrus and herbs, First Breath is a crowd-pleaser that embodies vibrant freshness. Perfect if you want to smell clean and invigorated without a hint of fuss.
