Which Should You Buy?
Givenchy Xeryus is a divisive classic. While some pine for the vintage masterpiece and its sophisticated 80s virility, others find newer formulations to be a pale imitation of its former glory. It's a statement scent, not for the faint-hearted, oozing confident green masculinity.
This one's a stone-cold classic, a truly elegant and subtle tea-focussed scent. Though the original formulation was stronger, modern batches suffer from poor performance, making it a skin scent for self-enjoyment rather than turning heads.
