Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Original EDC
This venerable 'cologne' smells fantastic - a bright, classical citrus-herbal pick-me-up. Just don't expect it to last longer than your morning cuppa. It's truly a blink-and-you'll-miss-it affair, a fragrant whisper rather than a shout, but brilliant for what it is.

Our Verdict - The Most Wanted Intense EDP
This one is a real head-scratcher and a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some reckon it's a versatile crowd-pleaser, fresh and magnetic, while others found it utterly bland, generic, or even headache-inducing. Approach with caution, but if it hits right, you're golden.

Season and Occasion Fit

Original

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its extremely poor longevity and sillage make it unsuitable for situations requiring lasting presence, such as formal events or intimate dates. However, its refreshing nature and non-intrusive scent profile make it perfect for casual wear, after showering, or for a pick-me-up during sports or office hours where a fleeting scent is preferred.

The Most Wanted Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and sweet profile, combined with moderate projection and longevity reported by most, makes it a strong contender for casual wear and dates. While some find it suitable for the office, its sweetness and aromatic depth might be a bit much for formal settings or vigorous sport.
