Which Should You Buy?
Pierre de Velay No. 4 is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique boozy, aromatic blend from start to finish, or you'll be put off by what some perceive as an odd bay leaf and powdery combination. Definitely not a blind buy.
This budget-friendly clone of JPG Le Male is a solid, clean, and sweet vanilla powerhouse. Some consider it a club beast, others a versatile everyday scent, but nearly everyone agrees it's punching above its weight for the price. If you love sweet vanilla and want to smell good on a shoestring, this is your guy.
