Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Xeryus EDP

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.

Our Verdict - Nobile EDP

This legendary fougere has become a mythical beast due to its discontinuation, with prices bordering on the absurd. Is it worth tracking down? It's a classic for a reason: bold, fresh, and unapologetically masculine, a benchmark for the genre that still holds up. Don't fall for the hype prices, though.
