Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Original
This venerable 'cologne' smells fantastic - a bright, classical citrus-herbal pick-me-up. Just don't expect it to last longer than your morning cuppa. It's truly a blink-and-you'll-miss-it affair, a fragrant whisper rather than a shout, but brilliant for what it is.

Our Verdict - No.1 Le Premier
Seriously underrated; a clean, unapologetically fresh citrus that's bright without being boring. If you rate aldehydes, this is a must-try. Subtle yet impactful, it's a classy act for those who prefer understated elegance.

Season and Occasion Fit

Original

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its extremely poor longevity and sillage make it unsuitable for situations requiring lasting presence, such as formal events or intimate dates. However, its refreshing nature and non-intrusive scent profile make it perfect for casual wear, after showering, or for a pick-me-up during sports or office hours where a fleeting scent is preferred.
