Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Man Extreme Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous citrus-woody number, let down by a performance so tragic it's almost legendary. Everyone adores the scent, but the general consensus is that it vanishes faster than a free round at the pub.

Our Verdict - Rosabotanica Eau de Parfum
This isn't a demure rose, it's a wild, untamed garden. Rosabotanica is a divisive but much-loved green-spicy-woody floral that manages to be both unique and universally missed since its discontinuation. It's an acquired taste, but once you're in, you're obsessed.

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its fresh, clean, and understated character makes it a perfect office scent, as it's unlikely to offend despite its poor longevity. While it's generally versatile across occasions, its weak projection means it’s best for close encounters rather than making a bold statement.
