Which Should You Buy?
Diesel Bad is a classic love-it-or-hate-it scent. Half the internet thinks it's a generic, headache-inducing mess, but its devoted fans say it's an underrated, compliment-getting monster akin to Invictus, but with a grown-up twist. Undeniably mass-appealing, but certainly not for everyone.
This "new fougere" from Nobile 1942 is either a harmonious blend of traditional and modern, or a dull, safe rehash - depending on who you ask. Despite the polarisation, it's generally seen as a well-made, gentlemanly scent.
