Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Colonia Futura Eau de Cologne
A sparkling, modern take on the Italian cologne style, Colonia Futura bursts with citrus and aromatic greenery. Effortlessly crisp, impossibly natural, but fleeting-spray often and enjoy the ride.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Eau Sauvage Cologne
A modern, zesty citrus blast that gets the job done for hotter days. It's divisive, with some loving its fresh energy and others finding it too synthetic or simply preferring the original. Performance for a 'cologne' concentration is surprisingly decent, though some find it fleeting.

Season and Occasion Fit

Colonia Futura Eau de Cologne

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The high citrus and aromatic intensity makes it a perfect fit for spring and summer, providing a bright, uplifting freshness. Its herbal-green core works in early fall, but the lightness and fleeting nature struggle against winter's cold.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its modest projection and clean, brisk composition make it ideal for daytime, office, and casual wear, and its energetic citrus is great for sport or post-shower. It lacks the depth and presence for formal evening events.

Eau Sauvage Cologne

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive citrus-aromatic profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear, especially in warm weather. While not overly strong, the projection and longevity are good enough for these settings. It's a bit too casual for formal events, and just right for sport thanks to its refreshing nature.
