Which Should You Buy?
This one's a battleground, not a blind buy. Some get a refined, caramel-suede dream; others, a brutal blast of burnt rubber. Give it time to macerate, then decide if you're team 'industrial gourmand' or running for the hills.
This amber-vanilla powerhouse from Francis Kurkdjian is a cult classic; a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a huge following. Despite its divisive nature, Gaultier 2 earned a reputation as a 'sex in a bottle' compliment-getter for good reason.
