Which Should You Buy?
Pino Silvestre Original is a divisive classic. Some find it a refreshing, natural pine forest; others smell only kitchen herbs, cleaning products, or worse. It's a nostalgic trip for many but polarising for new noses - a true love-it-or-hate-it cheapie.
This Italian classic is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's a timeless, invigorating green aromatic, delivering a fresh barbershop experience. For others, it's a dated relic, smelling of 'pissy grandpa' or even 'petroleum'. You'll either get it or you won't.
