Which Should You Buy?
J'ai Osé is a proper '70s powerhouse - a rich, complex beast that's utterly divisive. It's too dark and challenging for some, but if you love bold, vintage chypres, this is an absolute gem, even in its reformed glory.
Levante is a divisive, quirky blend of gourmand sweetness and marine air, drawing comparisons to salted caramel and oceanic breezes. Prepare for unique takes on what you actually smell - it's a 'your-skin-but-better' frag for some, a saccharine letdown for others.
