Which Should You Buy?
A shockingly good dupe of a Penhaligon's classic, offering a sophisticated barbershop vibe for a fraction of the price. The consensus is strong: this scent punches above its weight, particularly after a bit of maceration.
This woody aromatic is a divisive one - some find it a gorgeous, refined Italian scent, others find it too old-school and generic. Expect clean, fresh woody florals with a hint of incense, but be prepared for a strong personality.
