Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Buveur De Vent EDP
This one's a divisive beast: some hail it as a masterclass in modern leather, 'raw and elegant' even, while others are put off by a 'stable' or 'old man' vibe. If you fancy a challenge and a bold statement, this dark horse might just be for you, but it's definitely not for the faint-hearted.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Riviera Extrait
A green, coastal take on Tom Ford Costa Azzurra. Riviera captures the cypress-driftwood-agarwood direction reasonably well but is lighter and less resinous than the original's dense Mediterranean-maquis base.

Season and Occasion Fit

Buveur De Vent

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its strong, long-lasting presence and bold leather-aromatic profile make it generally unsuitable for the office, where it might overwhelm. It fares better for evening dates or formal events where its commanding scent can be appreciated, and it's too heavy for casual wear or sport.

Riviera

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

The green, aromatic-woody blend transitions comfortably between spring and autumn.

Occasions

Also Works:
Office Date Casual Formal Sport

Fresh and aromatic enough for the office, relaxed enough for casual wear.
