Which Should You Buy?
A divisive citrus classic, Eau de Rochas splits opinion with its sharp, vintage charm. Some find it a refreshing summer essential, while others are put off by its 'old-school' or 'masculine' edge. Love it or hate it, it's certainly got character.
A legendary, classic Italian citrus that has sadly been butchered by reformulations. The vintage is a sophisticated, masculine scent embodying timeless elegance, while modern versions struggle to capture its original magic.
