Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lalique Pour Homme Equus Eau de Parfum

Lalique Pour Homme Equus is a quietly sophisticated scent that nails 'outdoorsy gentleman' for those over 30, though it's polarising for some. It's a natural-smelling, elegant woody-spicy fragrance, but don't expect beast-mode performance; its subtlety is part of its charm and its downfall for some.

Our Verdict - Icon Elite Eau de Parfum

Dunhill Icon Elite is a divisive woody scent: some find it a sophisticated, underrated gem, while others dismiss it as generic and underwhelming. It's affordable, but its performance is a toss-up - sometimes subtle, sometimes surprisingly long-lasting on clothes.

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its moderate projection and inoffensive, natural woody-spicy profile make it ideal for the office and casual wear. While elegant enough for dates and some formal occasions, its subtlety might not cut through the noise in busier settings. It's not suited for sport as it's too refined and lacks the invigorating freshness often desired there.
