Which Should You Buy?
A budget take on the discontinued Fendi for Men (2004) - the same fresh woody-aromatic blend of lime and white pepper over green tea, violet root and aromatic suede. Italian Luxury captures that refined, Mediterranean character but reads flatter and shorter-lived than the original, the suede-oakmoss drydown thinner.
This is a truly divisive classic. Either a captivating masterpiece of warm, spicy sophistication or an overly intense, old-fashioned punch to the nose. It's a love-or-hate affair, but rarely forgotten - especially its original formulation.
