Which Should You Buy?
This is a masterpiece that should never have been discontinued. An elegant, fresh, and spicy rose for men that turns heads without shouting, though some find it a touch too floral or dated. It's often debated if it's truly masculine, but it definitely leaves an impression.
This discontinued gem is divisive from the outset; some find it a cosy, spicy 'happiness in a bottle', while others are met with an 'overburnt vanilla' or a 'sickly' orange peel. If you can get your hands on a bottle, it seems like a must-try for oriental fans.
