Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper spicy enigma, constantly compared to Bvlgari Man in Black but confidently carving its own path. Expect a boozy, warm hug that's less uptight and surprisingly long-lasting, though perhaps a tad overhyped by some.
A truly gorgeous, comforting amber that's not afraid of a bit of spice and a fresh aromatic kick. It's divisive only because some say its performance is poor, but the scent itself is a hug in a bottle.

Its strong projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, and the warmth is all wrong for sporty activities. This is a scent for intimate dates and evening wear, with its sophisticated spicy-woody character lending itself well to formal occasions.
