Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - First Instinct Blue

A solid, approachable 'blue' scent with mass appeal, especially at discounter prices. Don't expect beast-mode performance; this is a fleeting but pleasant experience often compared to Dylan Blue or the A&F classic Fierce.

Our Verdict - Inefable

Rasasi's Inefable is a crowd-pleasing, modern aromatic-fruity concoction. It's a fresh, versatile frag that'll get you noticed without being over the top, making it a solid daily driver that performs well above its price point.

Season and Occasion Fit

First Instinct Blue

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its clean, fresh, and inoffensive profile makes it excellent for office and casual wear, including the gym. The general consensus on its poor longevity and sillage makes it unsuitable for formal events and less ideal for dates where you want the scent to last.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal Sport

Its fresh and clean profile, combined with good performance, makes Inefable highly versatile for daily wear, from the office to casual outings. While not strictly formal, it's pleasant enough for semi-formal events, and the energetic fruitiness prevents it from being a full-on date night scent.
