Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet legendary, Fleur du Mâle is a floral powerhouse for men who dare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent, often praised as a masterpiece but equally slammed as 'toilet cleaner'.
This one is a classic love-it-or-hate-it Roja, a bold rose-oud with an herbal, spicy edge. Some find it a masterpiece of East-meets-West perfumery, rich and opulent. Others reckon it's a 'musty old lady' scent, overpriced and overhyped. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
