Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Quasar
This one's a divisive beast. Some find its metallic citrus intriguing and powerful, others are left scratching their heads, wondering if it's a winter warmer or a summer sparkler, ultimately declaring it just 'not bottle worthy.' Handle with caution.

Our Verdict - Xanadu
This one's a clean-cut, balanced take on an old-school spicy citrus. It’s got a real invigorating kick that mellows to a woody, resinous base. Definitely one to reach for when you need to clear your head.

Season and Occasion Fit

Quasar

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Given its strong longevity and intriguing character, Quasar is best suited for evening wear, especially dates, where its magnetic quality can shine. The citrus and warm spicy accords make it versatile enough for smart casual outings, but it's likely too potent and distinctive for a typical office environment or sporting activities.

Xanadu

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its invigorating yet balanced profile makes it suitable for regular casual wear and even the office, as it's clean and not overwhelming. It's a bit too old-school for most date nights and lacks the freshness for active sports.
