Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising scent; some adore its unique woody-smoky depth, while others completely despise its unexpected candle wax-like aldehydes and musky tones. Definitely not a blind buy, but a must-try for the adventurous.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. It promises exotic Tokyo vibes but delivers a divisive blend of familiar masculine notes and elusive Japanese twists. Some rate it a unique, spicy temple forest, others a generic muddle. Try before you buy, obviously.
