Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aspen Eau de Parfum
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 - Contemporary Eau de Toilette
A fresh, clean scent that's often described as soft and subtle. While some find it a touch too weak, others appreciate its quiet charm, making it a decent everyday reach even if heavy-handed spraying is required.

Seasons

Best For:

Many reviews suggest it's perfect for around the house or after a workout.

Occasions

Office Casual Sport
