Which Should You Buy?
MCX is a polarising launch not for its scent, but for its marketing. Those who've actually smelled it praise its brighter take on the original, with a delicious violet floral and darker oud backing, but many others won't get past the hype machine.
Baldessarini UOMO is a pleasant, versatile scent, though it doesn't break new ground. It's a reliable blind buy for those who appreciate a fresh, spicy, and subtly floral masculine fragrance.
