Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising beast. Forget your usual crowd-pleasers; 1740 is a dark, leathery, boozy powerhouse that demands attention. You'll either adore its scandalous charm or recoil from its perceived mustiness. Definitely not for the shrinking violets.
This one's a smooth operator, masterfully blending the bright with the balsamic. Some find it a versatile 'Master of All', while others get a bit of an old-school soapy vibe. It's a complex, luminous scent that truly stands apart.

With its beast mode performance and intensely dark, leathery accords, 1740 is too much for the office. It truly shines on a date or in formal evening settings, projecting a daring confidence that's less suited to casual daytime wear or anything active.
