Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued Davidoff flanker has cult status for a reason - it's a fresh, woody powerhouse that transcends the original. Forget the name, Deep is its own beast, offering something unique that fans still desperately seek out years later.
No. 691 chases YSL's Y Eau de Parfum - crisp apple and ginger over an aromatic sage-and-juniper heart, settling into amberwood. The fougere shape lands well up top, but YSL's version has more resinous depth and reaches 8-10 hours on skin; No. 691 opens strong then thins out considerably sooner, losing the warm amberwood push that anchors the original.
