Which Should You Buy?
Covet is a divisive oddball, splitting opinion between 'unique masterpiece' and 'bug spray'. Its bizarre lemon, lavender, and chocolate combo is either a comforting, niche-quality dream or a cheap, muddled mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Mefisto Gentiluomo is a real head-turner, but people are properly divided. Some reckon it's a classy, modern barbershop masterpiece; others get hit with baby wipes or cheap clone vibes. There's real love here for its elegant freshness, but also quite a bit of 'meh' for its performance and cost.
