Which Should You Buy?
This is Chanel's nod to classic masculinity, a polished barbershop scent that’s equal parts heritage and modern refinement. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, particularly among those loyal to the original EDT, but many find it a sophisticated standout with a creamy, nuanced dry-down.
This one's proper divisive - folks either reckon it's a classy, modern barbershop masterpiece or a boring, overpriced old-school scent that smells like cleaning products. If you fancy a classic, woody aromatic with some citrus zing, give it a go; just don't expect it to blow your socks off.
