Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nobile

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.

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.
