Which Should You Buy?
A divisive beast mode scent that splits opinion down the middle. Some hail it as a superior BR540, a sweet, warm, and highly addictive sillage monster. Others find it an overpoweringly synthetic mess, headache-inducing, and lacking any nuance.
This one is a proper divisive beast. You either get a mystical, golden aura that'll have you sniffing your wrist all day, or you're stuck with something that smells like old houses, rabbit hutches, or a dodgy bathroom cleaner. Sample first, definitely.
