Which Should You Buy?
This one is a seriously divisive piece of kit. You'll either get a gorgeous, potent blast of old-school class, or it'll smell like an elderly relative's bathroom. Love-it-or-hate-it, but if you love it, you'll love it hard for its unique character.
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.
