Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lacoste Live EDT
A divisive freshie, with prominent lime and a quirky cola-like licorice note. It's affordable and unique, but lacks staying power and might not appeal to everyone's taste.
Statement
Our Verdict - Bucephalus IX EDP
Skip it. It takes a swing at Dior Sauvage and barely connects. You're better off saving your cash for something with a bit more oomph and originality, even if the price is tempting.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lacoste Live

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

This shines in casual settings or for sports due to its fresh, energising vibe and short longevity. It's too light for formal events and might not captivate on a date, though it's relatively inoffensive for the office despite its uniqueness.

Bucephalus IX

Seasons

Best For:
Summer Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - summer and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear and even the gym, as it's unlikely to offend. However, reported weaker longevity and similarity to a common designer scent mean it falls short for formal events or a memorable date night.
