Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Floris gem that's sadly discontinued, Palm Springs is an acquired taste. If you can get past the initial sharp spice, it settles into a sophisticated, warmly classic scent that evokes old-school charm rather than beachside glamour.
Prepare for a spirited debate. D&G pour Homme (1994) is an absolute classic for many, a 'sex in a bottle' scent that screams 90s Italian elegance. But a vocal minority finds it utterly forgettable, even synthetic. The real controversy? The original vs. current formulations - vintage is unequivocally king.
