Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fresh As Citrus
This one's a proper divisive scent; you'll either love its vintage citrus barbershop vibe or find it reeks of lemon Pledge and curry packet. Not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' will champion its old-school charm.
Statement
Our Verdict - Oxford
A divisive citrus-aromatic that some adore for its luxury and smooth evolution, others find it overpriced and uninspired. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fresh As Citrus

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its bold, somewhat polarising citrus and barbershop character make it a bit much for formal or intimate office settings, but the fresh and aromatic facets lend themselves well to casual or outdoor use. The dry-down's unique musky warmth could work for a relaxed date, if your companion appreciates something a bit different.

Oxford

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean nature makes it suitable for casual wear, sporty activities, and the office, offering a refined presence without being overwhelming. While it has an air of luxury, some find it less suited for formal events given its prominent citrus profile, and moderate longevity might necessitate reapplication for longer dates.
