Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Brut

Brut by Fabergé is a divisive classic. Some find it a 'masterpiece' and an essential expression of masculinity, while others dismiss it as 'putrid crap' or an 'old man's scent'. It's a barbershop fougère that evokes strong nostalgia, whether for better or worse.

Our Verdict - Sleight of Fern

This modern fougère is a divisive one. Some find it a 'modern gem' with a captivating blend of classic and contemporary, while others are put off by medicinal or pickle-like notes. Definitely sample before you commit.
