Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Shades Blue Eau de Parfum
This budget-friendly 'blue' scent is either a beastly bargain or a cheap, synthetic miss. Performance is a total lottery, so you might get a gem or you might get air freshener. Buy at your own risk - some love it, some regret it.

Our Verdict - Tag-Him Eau de Parfum
This budget fragrance splits the room right down the middle- some hail it a steal, others reckon it's a harsh downgrade. Expect an initial rough ride and mixed performance, but for the price, it might just surprise you.

Season and Occasion Fit

Shades Blue Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile makes it suitable for office wear, though varied performance means some might find it too fleeting. It's a casual scent by nature, described by some as an everyday go-to, and its potential for a strong opening makes it less ideal for formal settings.

Tag-Him Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and daily office use, especially given the generally moderate projection that won't overwhelm. While it can work for a date, the lack of performance mentioned by some reviewers means it might not last through an entire evening event, making it less ideal for formal settings.
