Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Polo Cologne Intense Eau de Parfum
Polo Cologne Intense aims for a modern take on a classic, but this flanker gets a mixed bag of reactions. Some laud its fresh, green revitalisation, while others dismiss it as a diluted, generic scent that barely lives up to the 'intense' in its name. Expect a clean but fleeting experience.

Our Verdict - Haze Eau de Parfum
Akro Haze is a polarising green herbal bomb. Some find it a realistic cannabis leaf scent, others a camphoric spa treatment. It's unique, but definitely test before you buy - it's not a crowd-pleaser and its 'weed' factor is a hot topic.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

This fragrance is well-suited for casual wear, office environments, and even light sporting activities due to its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile. Its moderate projection and sometimes weak longevity mean it's less ideal for formal events or dates where a more impactful scent is often desired.

Haze Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its potent aromatic and camphoric opening, plus the divisive 'weed' element, makes it less suitable for formal or office settings where subtlety is preferred. However, its fresh, green character is well-suited for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, and its invigorating nature could work for sport.
