Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper cult classic, but be warned: the 1991 reformulation is still a green powerhouse, though some purists might sniff at it compared to the original. It's divisive, sharp, and certainly not for everyone, but if you love a truly 'green' scent, you'll be hooked.
Pansy is a divisive, quirky scent that evokes a very specific, earthy green vibe. Many find it cosy and calming, but for some, the prominent herbal notes lean too masculine or even off-putting. Definitely not a blind buy.

While it has a classic elegance that could work for some office settings, its initial sharpness and polarizing character might be too much for formal events or intimate dates.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and intimate sillage make it suitable for office wear, while its soft, comforting nature lends itself well to casual settings. It's generally not seen as formal due to its green, earthy profile, and opinions are mixed for dating, with some finding it sexy and others too 'old-fashioned'.
