Which Should You Buy?
This 90s powerhouse is a divisive blast from the past. For some, it's a 'holy grail' of masculine freshness and confidence, a clean and spicy aromatic with 'cool sweetness'. For others, it's simply 'outdated', 'pedestrian', or even 'smells like wax in a church'. Prepare for a strong opinion, one way or the other.
This one is a properly divisive beast. Some find it a screechy, old-fashioned aldehyde bomb, while others are utterly enchanted by its smoky, sweet, and masculine edge. Definitely sample before you commit.
