Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kenzo Homme Sport Eau de Toilette

Kenzo Homme Sport is a divisive 'sport' fragrance, praised by some for its refreshing mint and ginger combo, but dismissed by others as generic or even unpleasant, with a particular sting to its staying power. Try before you buy.

Statement

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.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, energetic, and clean profile makes it ideal for sport and casual daytime wear, as many reviews suggest it's 'very refreshing' and great for 'hot days'. However, its limited longevity and projection, coupled with some finding it too 'sporty', make it less suitable for formal or intimate settings.

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.
