Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Polo Sport EDP
Polo Sport is an undeniable '90s icon, but wearers are split on whether its modern iteration captures the original magic. Some hail it as a timeless fresh classic, while others decry its reformulation as a shadow of its former self - minty toothpaste rather than oceanic bliss.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Pure Man EDP
Bruno Banani Pure Man is a cheap and cheerful party pleaser that punches above its weight. It's divisive - some love its sweet, masculine charm, others find it simplistic - but for a budget-friendly night out, it absolutely delivers on compliments and youthful appeal.

Season and Occasion Fit

Polo Sport

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean, and energetic profile makes it perfect for sport and casual wear, especially in warmer weather. While some find it office-appropriate, its often-cited lack of longevity and 'sporty' branding make it less ideal for formal events or date nights.

Pure Man

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Given its sweet, attention-grabbing profile and community feedback praising it for nightclubs and parties, this scent is best suited for casual and date night scenarios rather than formal or office wear. Its robust sillage and longevity also make it less ideal for subdued environments like the workplace.
