Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, discontinued chypre that continues to captivate. Ellipse is a rare find, coveted by those who adore its bold, green character and the timeless elegance it exudes. It's a statement scent, pure and simple.
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.
