Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously divisive scent. Some find it a captivating, artistic blend of forest and fruit, while others get nothing but sickly sweet pine air freshener or synthetic strawberry gone wrong. Definitely try before you buy.
Don't fall for the hype comparing this to Armani Code - it's a completely different beast. It's a classy, masculine, woody-sweet scent that might not be a beast mode performer for everyone but gets the job done. A refined choice for those who appreciate subtle sophistication.
