Which Should You Buy?
This is a serviceable clone that delivers the Profumo experience for a fraction of the price, but don't expect beast-mode performance despite the claims. It's a solid, affordable alternative for everyday wear.
A universally praised fresh and clean scent, 1805 combines classic barbershop appeal with modern smoothness. It's often compared to Issey Miyake, but many agree it's the superior, less harsh sibling. A fantastic blind buy and a true everyday hero.
