Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Santal Intense
This one's a smooth operator, a modern barbershop classic that smells divine. However, the 'Intense' moniker might be a bit ambitious for its performance, leaving some wishing for more projection and longevity.
Acquired
Our Verdict - The Pour Homme II
Versatile and sophisticated, The Pour Homme II is a masculine scent that impresses with its rich, warm spicy appeal and understated elegance.

Season and Occasion Fit

Santal Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its refined, clean scent makes it suitable for office and formal wear, leaning into its 'barbershop' charm. While pleasant for dates, its limited projection noted by reviewers means it won't dominate a casual setting or survive vigorous sport.

The Pour Homme II

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

The warm spicy and woody notes make it ideal for cooler temperatures in fall and spring, while the freshness allows some versatility in summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and elegant profile make it suitable for dates and casual outings, while too intense for sports and too relaxed for highly formal events.
