Which Should You Buy?
This is a fiercely divisive beast of a fragrance. Some will swoon over its earthy sophistication, while others will recoil from its sheer intensity. Expect a potent, almost overwhelming experience - definitely not for the faint of heart, but a unique ride for those who dare.
Divisive and enigmatic, this Le Labo exclusive is either a masterclass in modern chypre or a perplexing blend of old-school barber shop and synthetic tang. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with few sitting on the fence.
