Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grower, mind. It starts a bit challenging with a rubbery, almost medicinal kick, but if you stick with it, 500 Years blossoms into a dark, luxurious rose-and-cacao affair. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those who get it, it's an addictive, enigmatic beast.
An engaging, sophisticated unisex fragrance that balances floral and amber aspects without being overpowering.
