Which Should You Buy?
Pino Silvestre Original is a divisive classic. Some find it a refreshing, natural pine forest; others smell only kitchen herbs, cleaning products, or worse. It's a nostalgic trip for many but polarising for new noses - a true love-it-or-hate-it cheapie.
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
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its fresh, aromatic profile makes it suitable for casual wear and daily refreshing, particularly for outdoorsy activities. However, its often-criticised weak performance and 'old-school' vibe make it less ideal for formal events or intimate dates.
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.
