Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aspen EDP
Divisive yet iconic, Aspen has its champions and its detractors. Some see it as a cheap, synthetic mess, while others hail it as an unbeatable green classic. Either way, it's undeniably a blast from the past.
Statement
Our Verdict - Bamboo Harmony EDP
Bamboo Harmony is a divisive one. Many find this green tea and citrus blend to be a 'zen' spa experience, while a good few others dismiss it as an overpriced, generic freshie with woeful performance. Your mileage (and wallet) may vary.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aspen

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its fresh, green character makes it ideal for casual wear, errands, or post-shower freshness. While often compared to a 'barbershop' style, its strong green and woody elements, combined with its reputation as a 'cheapie', make it less suited for formal or romantic settings. Many reviews suggest it's perfect for around the house or after a workout.

Bamboo Harmony

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Formal

Its clean, fresh, and often-described 'inoffensive' nature, coupled with many noting its light projection, makes it an excellent choice for office wear or casual daytime use. While some suggest it for active moments, its relaxed and elegant DNA also lends itself to more refined, albeit not overtly formal, settings like certain date scenarios.
