Which Should You Buy?
This one's a shape-shifter: it starts out a bit fresh, but then BAM! You're hit with a complex, dark, leathery, rose and oud combo that has some people reeling and others worshipping at its feet. It's properly potent, so go easy.
This is a truly magnificent Chypre that's criminally underrated if the chatter is to be believed. A perfectly blended classic-feeling scent that's all class and sophistication, pulling off the 'timeless' vibe without feeling dated.
