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 For others, it's simply 'outdated', 'pedestrian', or even 'smells like wax in a church'.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.
Courreges in Blue is a bold, divisive 80s powerhouse that refuses to be ignored. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with beast-mode performance, often miscategorised, but undeniably unique. Not for the faint of heart or those who prefer modern subtlety.
