Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive but budget-friendly throwback. If you're after a mature, masculine scent that harks back to classic barbershops, with surprising longevity for the price, you'll love it. But beware, some find the dry-down a bit 'old socks' or distinctly old-school.
This Taif rose and pepper blend is a stunning take on a classic, but be warned: the strong peppery opening can be polarising. If you're after a high-end, rose-forward perfume with a spicy kick, this is a top-tier contender.
