Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a divisive aquatic, polarising right down the middle with its unique take on salty freshness. Some find it a realistic coastal escape, others a bog standard blue body wash. Test before you buy, it's definitely not a safe blind reach.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and moderate projection makes it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. The aquatic and slightly woody notes aren't quite formal or romantic, keeping those scores lower. Its refreshing nature also makes it a decent option for light sport.
