Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love its intensely soapy, classic chypre character or find it utterly archaic. Don't go in expecting sweet pomegranate; this is an aldehydic, oakmoss-heavy statement that commands attention. Distinctly old-world, polarising, but undeniably grand.
A divisive chypre that demands commitment. Some find it a 'grape soda' mess if under-sprayed, others crown it an aristocratic, elegant masterpiece. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it.
