Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a scent journey that's captivatingly unique, if a bit divisive on first sniff. Matsukita is a smoky, woody ode to tea, sophisticated enough to win over even the most discerning noses, provided they get past its challenging opening. It's a luxury choice, no doubt, but one that many find truly masterful.
A faithful take on 212 Men's grapefruit-sage-musk skeleton, though extra gardenia, incense and labdanum push it warmer and heavier than the crisp NYC original.

Its moderate projection and sophisticated profile make it suitable for office and formal settings, though some find it a bit too assertive for very close-contact work. The unique, elegant character is a perfect match for dates, while its versatility makes it a strong contender for upscale casual wear. It's definitely not a sport scent.
Seasons
The added incense and labdanum tip it toward cooler-weather wear versus the original's year-round freshness.
