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.
A divisive scent that’s either 'pure magic' or barely there. If you're lucky, it's a softer, more elegant take on the BR540 vibe, but don't be surprised if it disappears on you.
