Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem divides opinion yet commands cult status for its unique, multi-layered complexity. Antidote is either an intoxicating masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, but rarely anything in between. Track it down for a sniff, if you dare.
This 90s powerhouse is a divisive blast from the past. For some, it's a 'holy grail' of masculine freshness and confidence, a clean and spicy aromatic with 'cool sweetness'. For others, it's simply 'outdated', 'pedestrian', or even 'smells like wax in a church'. Prepare for a strong opinion, one way or the other.
