Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le 3e Homme de Caron Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper grower. Give Le 3e Homme some time past its initial blast and you'll find a sophisticated, unique scent that's loved by many, even if a few find it a bit too 'classic' or challenging at first.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Brut Eau de Parfum
Brut by Fabergé is a divisive classic. Some find it a 'masterpiece' and an essential expression of masculinity, while others dismiss it as 'putrid crap' or an 'old man's scent'. It's a barbershop fougère that evokes strong nostalgia, whether for better or worse.
