Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sycomore Eau de Parfum

Sycomore is a 'quiet luxury' vetiver masterpiece, though its close resemblance to cheaper alternatives and its divisive performance cause some debate. Expect a sophisticated, high-quality woody experience, but don't expect it to shout for attention.

Our Verdict - Gentlemen Only Casual Chic Eau de Parfum

Givenchy Gentlemen Only Casual Chic is a fresh, spicy, and woody crowd-pleaser that's sadly discontinued. While some find it unique and classy, others are put off by a divisive 'pickle' note or find it too generic. It's a 'your mileage may vary' situation, but generally a safe bet for a clean, office-friendly scent.
