Which Should You Buy?
A truly luxurious and complex scent for the grown-up gent. It's not a playful scent, but rather a proper, dignified fragrance for those who appreciate old-school class, though its price tag means it's for special events only.
Pierre de Velay No. 4 is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique boozy, aromatic blend from start to finish, or you'll be put off by what some perceive as an odd bay leaf and powdery combination. Definitely not a blind buy.
