Which Should You Buy?
This one is a seriously divisive piece of kit. You'll either get a gorgeous, potent blast of old-school class, or it'll smell like an elderly relative's bathroom. Love-it-or-hate-it, but if you love it, you'll love it hard for its unique character.
This one's a proper earth mother - a full-bodied chypre that demands attention. It's not for the faint-hearted, offering a powerful, sophisticated aroma that definitely isn't a crowd-pleaser for everyone. Wear it when you want to make a statement.

Its bold, long-lasting projection makes it a bit much for the office. However, the rich, sophisticated notes and animalic undertones make it fantastic for dates and formal events, though some find it a bit too old-school for everyday casual wear.

Occasions
Its strong, complex chypre profile and dominant sillage mean it's too much for office wear or casual settings where subtlety is key. It shines on formal occasions or for dates where a statement scent is desired.
