Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grown-up scent, divisive as hell but with a passionate following. You'll either get the hype of this classic, masculine powerhouse or you'll think it smells like an old bloke's aftershave before he clipped his nose hairs. It takes a certain wearer, but it's pure class for those who get it.
A divisive classic that splits opinion between masterful, classy sophistication and 'old man' datedness. Some find it a timeless, versatile masterpiece, while others are put off by its traditional, powdery nature or performance issues in newer formulations.
