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 one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some folks reckon it's a classy, versatile Italian charmer, while others are utterly underwhelmed, calling it generic or short-lived. It seems to either click or completely miss the mark, with little in-between.
