Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Colonia Futura

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.

Our Verdict - Sr. N

This Brazilian classic has seen a few reformulations over the years, making it less of a 'loud, invasive, tenacious' beast and more of a refreshing everyday wear. Now it's a solid, natural-smelling green citrus that pleases many, while still holding a place in the hearts of those who remember its vintage roar.

Season and Occasion Fit

Colonia Futura

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.

Sr. N

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its fresh, clean, and invigorating profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer weather given its bright citrus and aromatic accords. While it's toned down from its original beast-mode, the strong citrus and green notes, particularly for some, could still be a bit much for a formal setting. Its current incarnation is well-suited for the office, offering a professional cleanliness without being overpowering.
