Which Should You Buy?
This one's a modern classic, divisive only by its weaker current formulation. The vintage was a beast and still represents understated elegance for those who know; newer batches still deliver the sophisticated tea-and-citrus freshness, just with less brawn.
A budget take on Bvlgari Pour Homme Extreme. Ultimately Italian captures the signature darjeeling-tea-and-citrus open and the dry woody-aromatic heart, but Perfume Parlour's version reads a touch sharper and the woods-and-oakmoss base thins out faster than the original's famous eight-to-ten-hour longevity.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Bvlgari Extreme excels as an office scent due to its clean, inoffensive nature and moderate projection, creating a professional aura. Its freshness makes it versatile for casual wear and suitable for daytime sports in warmer weather, but it's a bit too subtle for grand formal events.
Seasons
The fresh tea-and-citrus opening over dry woods suits transitional spring and autumn weather and stays wearable in summer.
Occasions
Refined and understated, it shines in the office and for formal daytime wear more than the gym or a loud night out.
