Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mefisto
Mefisto is a fresh citrus bomb that's undeniably classy. It's often compared to Silver Mountain Water but with more floral depth and better performance. While some find it leans feminine, it's overwhelmingly lauded as a sophisticated, uplifting men's scent.
