Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Brutus Eau de Parfum
Brutus is a divisive, earthy patchouli that swings from sophisticated fougere to 'unwashed @zz' depending on who you ask. It's a tamer Gualtieri, but temper your expectations regarding performance.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Aqua de Classic Profumo Eau de Parfum
A cheap thrill that nails the scent profile but utterly falls short on wear-time. Expect to douse yourself in this if you want it to last, but for the price, it might just be worth the hassle. A fresh, masculine complement-getter, if you can keep it on.

Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
