Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Skin Eau de Parfum

This discontinued gem is a true crowd-pleaser, perpetually missed by its devotees who hail it as a unique, versatile, 'second skin' scent that garners endless compliments. A few find it too green or 'aftershave-y', but for most, it's liquid gold.

Our Verdict - 8 Days a Week Extrait

A green-tinged, elegant floral that punches above its weight with serious performance. Leans masculine for some, understated for others, but generally agreed to be a refined, all-season choice for those who appreciate naturalistic green florals.
