Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Romance for Men EDT
This discontinued 90s stunner is still capable of making knees go weak and starting romantic journeys if you can get hold of a bottle. Despite a name that promises romance, it's a classy, versatile, and distinctly masculine aromatic woody that punches way above its weight.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Eau Cendrée EDT
Skip this one. It's a messy, dated affair trying to be everything at once and succeeding at nothing. A truly bewildering release that even the most hardcore Jacomo fans will struggle with.

Occasions

No strong occasion fit

The conflicting notes and cloying nature make it inappropriate for most settings, especially close-quarters like the office or a date. Its overall lack of coherence means it won't shine anywhere.
