Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grown-up scent, divisive as it might be. Some call it a dated 'grandpa' fragrance, others hail it as a timeless, aristocratic masterpiece. Either way, it's packing a serious punch from a bygone era, perfect for the man who knows what he wants.
This legendary fougere has become a mythical beast due to its discontinuation, with prices bordering on the absurd. Is it worth tracking down? It's a classic for a reason: bold, fresh, and unapologetically masculine, a benchmark for the genre that still holds up. Don't fall for the hype prices, though.
