Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dolce&Gabbana pour Homme (1994)

Prepare for a spirited debate. D&G pour Homme (1994) is an absolute classic for many, a 'sex in a bottle' scent that screams 90s Italian elegance. But a vocal minority finds it utterly forgettable, even synthetic. The real controversy? The original vs. current formulations - vintage is unequivocally king.

Our Verdict - Pierre de Velay No. 6

A truly unique scent, Pierre de Velay No. 6 is a 'love it or hate it' affair. Many find it incomparable, a masterful blend of the familiar and the exotic that smells 'natural' and 'perfect'. Others find it merely 'nice' or 'wearable' - but everyone agrees it's distinctive for those with a taste for something different.
