Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, but if you're into unique, sophisticated chypres, Yohji Essential could be your next obsession. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its enigmatic charm.
Fidji is a glorious vintage floral chypre, a timeless classic some find dated but many adore for its unique green, spicy, and powdery character. It's a journey back to a more sophisticated era.
