Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nero Velours Extrait
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Nero Velour is either a fresh, musky stunner that rivals Tygar, or it's a weak, milky tea with a hint of fruit and no projection. Good luck figuring it out.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Moscow Mule Eau de Parfum
Moscow Mule starts with a zesty, true-to-life citrus hit that sadly dissipates far too quickly. It's divisive - some get a refreshing cocktail, others a chemical cleaner, but nearly everyone agrees on the frustratingly poor longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit

Nero Velours Extrait

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

The fresh and musky accords make it versatile, leaning casual or for dates where a subtle presence is desired. However, reports of weak projection mean it might not cut through in a formal setting, and it lacks the oomph for dedicated sports wear.

Moscow Mule Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, light and clean profile makes it perfect for casual outings and sport. Due to its very poor longevity and mild projection mentioned in reviews, it's safe for the office but perhaps too fleeting for formal events or longer dates.
