Which Should You Buy?
Brutus is a divisive, earthy patchouli that swings from sophisticated fougere to 'unwashed @zz' depending on who you ask. It's a tamer Gualtieri, but temper your expectations regarding performance.
This one's a proper masterpiece, oozing understated elegance and sophistication. A truly divisive scent, loved by many for its unique blend of woody florals and hated by a few who find it too harsh or reminiscent of unexpected things. It's a real shame it's discontinued, but if you can find it, you're in for a treat.
