Which Should You Buy?
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.
This is a seriously divisive scent. Some say it's an elevated Cool Water, a 'beast mode freshie' for those who value longevity. Others find it synthetic, headache-inducing, and even reminiscent of BO or air fresheners. You probably won't be indifferent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its fresh, aromatic character makes it excellent for casual and sport settings, especially with its reported strong performance. While it could work for an office, some find it a bit too loud initially, and the same goes for formal events unless you're aiming for a very modern, less traditional vibe.
