Which Should You Buy?
A modern chypre that's either 'sexy, dark, unique' or 'masculine, nauseating, old-fashioned' depending on your batch and skin chemistry. Prepare for batch variation woes and enjoy if you get a good one.
Florence Scent chases Gucci's Eau de Parfum (2002) - the luxurious, vintage oriental-spicy of powdery heliotrope and iris over leathery, incense-laced woods. It captures that classy, ancient-temple mood, but renders it flatter and lighter, with the original's rich, complex base simplified and projection pulled in.
