Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fanfare EDC
This isn't just a classic cologne reboot; it's a vibrant, boozy citrus journey with a floral heart that divides opinion. Some find its floral sweetness a bit much, others hail it as pure, long-lasting joy. It's bold, distinctive, and definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Aberdeen Lavender EDP
This one's a divisive affair for a reason. You'll either love this sophisticated, herbal lavender or recoil from what some call 'medicinal foot powder'. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but a quiet, complex gem for those who get it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fanfare

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Given its strong projection and longevity, Fanfare is best suited for casual wear and dates where its unique character can shine without overwhelming. Its aromatic and citrus profile makes it versatile, though some may find it a bit too loud for a formal setting or an office environment.

Aberdeen Lavender

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate projection and generally calming, refined character make it suitable for office and casual wear. The herbal, slightly 'old-school' feel and lack of traditional 'sexy' notes might limit its appeal for dates, while its subtlety is less suited for formal events or sport.
