Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper chameleon: a harsh, old-school citrus opening that quickly transforms into a modern, barbershop-esque vanilla and tonka bean dream. It has strong echoes of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male, but manages to carve out its own niche as a surprisingly versatile cheapie.
A divisive Floris gem that's sadly discontinued, Palm Springs is an acquired taste. If you can get past the initial sharp spice, it settles into a sophisticated, warmly classic scent that evokes old-school charm rather than beachside glamour.
