Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued 70s treasure is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find its complex, animalic chypre character utterly captivating, a truly classic scent that commands attention. Others are put off by its challenging green and civet notes, finding it a bit too much for modern tastes.
This is a solid, clean, barbershop classic with an appealingly fresh and verdant character. It’s certainly a crowd-pleaser, delivering impressive performance for its price, though some find it a bit too synthetic or generic. You'll love it for its fresh, masculine charm.
