Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sung Homme EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Xeryus EDP
Givenchy Xeryus is a divisive classic. While some pine for the vintage masterpiece and its sophisticated 80s virility, others find newer formulations to be a pale imitation of its former glory. It's a statement scent, not for the faint-hearted, oozing confident green masculinity.

Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

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.
