Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Colonia Club EDC
Minty, green, and bracingly fresh, Colonia Club is the Italian cologne for those who crave crisp distinction. Effortlessly chic, subtle, and invigorating, it is the definition of modern daytime refinement.

Our Verdict - Lacoste EDT
This 80s powerhouse is a divisive beast, a classic for some and a dated scrubber for others. If you appreciate a confident, green aromatic with a touch of soapy freshness, you might just find your new signature - provided you can get your hands on an original vintage bottle.

Season and Occasion Fit

Colonia Club

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Colonia Club's brisk mint, citrus, and green herbal facets make it exceptionally suited to spring and warm summer days, offering refreshing clarity in heat. Its subtlety and airy structure make it less appropriate for cold winter months.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Formal

This is a versatile, inoffensive scent with moderate projection and low boldness, making it perfect for office and casual settings, as well as active or sport occasions. Its sophistication allows for date wear, but it's a bit too crisp and light for highly formal events.

Lacoste

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, energetic, and clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially sports, as many reviewers attest. While some find it suitable for the office or formal events, its 'powerhouse' nature means it might be too strong for more conservative settings.
