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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - CH Men Sport Eau de Parfum
Divisive, intriguing, and surprisingly enduring for a 'sport' scent - CH Men Sport is either a generic dud or a fresh, peppery gem depending on who you ask. Give it some time, 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.

CH Men Sport Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, aromatic, and spicy nature makes it ideal for casual wear, with enough versatility for the office given its moderate sillage. While it's marketed as 'Sport', many reviewers note a sophisticated edge that elevates it beyond purely athletic use, yet its freshness also suits gym days. It's not quite elegant enough for formal events, and could be a bit too direct for intimate dates due to the pepper.
