Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive topic, with many feeling it's a high-class Le Male clone that costs far too much for its performance, while others find its smooth, refined profile and barbershop freshness irresistible. Sample first, definitely. If you love the DNA, you just might love it.
This one's a proper spicy amber that's not for the faint-hearted. It’s got that divisive 'love it or hate it' thing going on, meaning it'll definitely get people talking - just like the player himself.
