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.
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love how it smells like old money and sophisticated danger, or you'll be asking why your posh perfume smells like a vintage barbershop or, worse, just a bit 'dirty'. The price tag divides opinions even more fiercely.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its intensely green and fresh nature makes it ideal for casual wear and invigorating for sport, especially in warmer weather. 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.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While some find this perfectly suitable for the office, its distinct animalic and woody elements, combined with its strong presence, lean more towards evening and formal wear. It's a statement fragrance for dates and sophisticated events, rather than casual outings or the gym.
