Which Should You Buy?
Kyoto is divisive, with some finding it a wispy, soapy disappointment, while others hail it as a masterpiece of calming, woody incense. It's subtle, serene, and absolutely ideal for intimate moments.
This one's a bit of a chameleon - starting out like a harsh, masculine herbal bomb, then mellowing into something surprisingly clean and agreeable. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a divisive opening, but stick with it for the dry down.
