Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper cult classic, loved by many for its timeless masculine elegance. The hype surrounding its discontinuation and re-release drama is real, so grab a vintage bottle if you can, but don't break the bank for it.
This 80s powerhouse is a divisive beast, lauded by some as a "masterpiece" and a "sleeping giant," while others find it "dated" and akin to "grandma's floral soap." It's an undeniable classic, but approach with caution if modern sensibilities are your thing.
