Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a proper old-school fougere, an aromatic woody blast that's quite memorable. Some find it a bit much after a few hours, but it's a solid, understated throwback that probably deserves more love. A real men's man scent.
