Which Should You Buy?
This is a fiercely divisive, powerhouse Chypre. It's an old-school masterpiece for some, a musty nightmare for others. Expect a bold, complex scent that commands attention, definitely not for the faint of heart or those seeking a crowd-pleasing 'freshie'.
This one's a proper aromatic bomb, fresh from the off but with enough earthy depth to keep it interesting. A solid contender for a daily go-to, it’s got that crowd-pleasing vibe without being boring.
