Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mefisto Eau de Parfum
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.

Our Verdict - Mefisto Gentiluomo Eau de Parfum
Mefisto Gentiluomo is a real head-turner, but people are properly divided. Some reckon it's a classy, modern barbershop masterpiece; others get hit with baby wipes or cheap clone vibes. There's real love here for its elegant freshness, but also quite a bit of 'meh' for its performance and cost.
