Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dunhill Edition
This 80s fougère was once a timeless classic, evoking sophisticated masculinity, but sadly, its modern iterations are watered down. The original was a masterpiece; current versions are a pale imitation, leaving many yearning for its former glory.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Colors de Benetton Man
This 80s relic is seriously divisive. Some find it a clean, nostalgic barbershop scent, a cheapie gem with surprising projection. Others decry it as dated, cloying, and frankly, obnoxious. You'll either love its vintage charm or run screaming.

Season and Occasion Fit

Dunhill Edition

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate projection and clean, classic profile make it highly suitable for the office or casual wear, avoiding overt intrusiveness. However, the reported weakness of modern formulations means it might struggle to make an impact in louder, more formal settings.

Colors de Benetton Man

Seasons

Best For:
Summer Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Given its strong projection and potentially 'dated' profile, this isn't ideal for formal or close-quarters office wear. It's best suited for casual outings, especially during warmer months, where its fresh yet prominent character can be appreciated without overwhelming. Its longevity makes it versatile for a full day out.
