Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Quasar Ice
A fantastically versatile freshie that delivers precisely what it promises for a bargain price. It might not be ground-breaking, but it's a solid, refreshing choice for daily wear, especially in warmer climates.
Favourite
Our Verdict - New West
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Quasar Ice

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

This shines in casual and active settings due to its fresh, clean profile, making it a 'dumb reach' for the gym or hot weather. Its moderate projection also makes it suitable for office wear without being overpowering, though it lacks the flair for formal events or date nights.

New West

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

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.
