Which Should You Buy?
Vespero is the love-it-or-hate-it Aventus alternative for those who like their fruit with a hefty side of leather. It’s got beastly performance, but some find it a bit too unoriginal, while others praise its unique blend of familiar elements.
A modern homage to classic masculine scents, Imperium X is surprisingly successful. It's green and woody with a fresh citrus zing, hitting all the right notes for a versatile, mass-appealing daily driver that garners compliments.
