Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, dark, sweet, and smooth legend from Issey Miyake's Nuit line. Polaris is sadly discontinued, so if you happen upon a bottle don't hesitate to snatch it up - it's a masterpiece.
This one's a powerful beast, a dead ringer for Amouage Interlude Man but with enough tweaks to make it surprisingly wearable. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for some, with its intense smokiness and potent projection, but a solid choice for those who want to make a statement.
