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 For others, it's simply 'outdated', 'pedestrian', or even 'smells like wax in a church'.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's a divisive ode to Oscar, some finding it a beautifully soft floral spice, others a muted, old-fashioned letdown. Don't expect a flamboyant beast; it's a quiet, green carnation for the introspective dandy, or maybe a nan.
