Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive gem. Sung Homme is a beast of an old-school clean fragrance; a blast of hyper-masculine, soapy nostalgia that you'll either adore for its undeniable character or recoil from as dated. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a steal.
A divisive classic that splits opinion between an artful, unique aquatic and a dated, harsh mess. The original 80s trailblazer, New West, is still turning heads, for better or worse, with its powerful green and woody marine vibe.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense, soapy character make it a bit much for intimate office or formal settings without very careful application. However, its clean, fresh profile makes it ideal for casual wear or after a workout, projecting a 'just showered' vibe for hours.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its robust projection and longevity, combined with a prominent green and woody profile, make it less suitable for enclosed office spaces. However, its fresh and outdoorsy character is well-suited for casual wear and can even work for dates, though it might be too strong for formal events.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Aromatic, Woody, Fresh Spicy accords and Caraway, Bay Leaf notes
