Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mystere

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.

Our Verdict - Pacific Isles

This one's a smooth operator - a fresh, clean green floral that's surprisingly versatile. Don't let the 'masculine' label fool you; this is a beautifully blended, understated scent that gets compliments.

Its clean, fresh, and moderately projecting nature makes it perfect for casual wear and the office. While it's lovely, it might be a bit too understated for formal events and not quite dynamic enough for sports.
