Which Should You Buy?
J'ai Osé is a proper '70s powerhouse - a rich, complex beast that's utterly divisive. It's too dark and challenging for some, but if you love bold, vintage chypres, this is an absolute gem, even in its reformed glory.
A legendary 80s powerhouse for a reason. Still polarising decades on, some find it a dated beast, others a timeless, affordable classic. This one means business, so spray with caution.
