A Taste of Heaven
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
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.
This cult classic will set you back a pretty penny on the aftermarket, but fans insist its smooth, refined lavender-vanilla is miles ahead of its cheaper inspirations. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent though, with some finding it heavenly while others are repelled.
