Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem divides opinion yet commands cult status for its unique, multi-layered complexity. Antidote is either an intoxicating masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, but rarely anything in between. Track it down for a sniff, if you dare.
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.
