Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper Mancera puzzle; a divisive beast with a challenging opening but a drydown that wins hearts. Not a safe blind buy, but a hidden gem for those who can ride out the initial blast.
This "new fougere" from Nobile 1942 is either a harmonious blend of traditional and modern, or a dull, safe rehash - depending on who you ask. Despite the polarisation, it's generally seen as a well-made, gentlemanly scent.
