Which Should You Buy?
This 2005 original is a cult classic for a reason: a fresh, clean floral that just works. Its recent reformulation, however, means it's not quite the beast it once was, leading to a love-it-or-hate-it divide among long-time fans.
A budget take on Ralph Lauren Blue. Azure Mallet captures the airy, aquatic-floral character of the original - lotus and soft white flowers over clean woods - while the delicate, graceful sandalwood-musk drydown reads even softer and, like the light original, doesn't linger long.
