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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Open
Open is for the bloke who scoffs at modern sweet scents, a true 80s powerhouse for an effortlessly masculine statement. Prepare for a rugged, smoky embrace that screams 'manly' and challenges the faint of heart, but rewards the bold with a timeless aroma.

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.

Open

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its strong projection and unmistakable vintage character, particularly the prominent tobacco, make it too assertive for office wear, despite some finding it suitable. However, its bold masculinity suits casual outings, and can make a distinguished statement on a date or in a casual evening setting. It's too heavy for sport.
