Which Should You Buy?
An energetic burst of citrus and cardamom over a clean woody base, Instinct is a breezy, everyday masculine that never tries too hard. Effortless, crisp, and a classic budget pick for spring and summer.
Divisive. While some rave about its luxurious clean scent and impressive longevity, an equal number are put off by a persistent 'latex balloon' or 'baby wipes' accord. Try before you buy, unless you really, really love fancy rubber.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The crisp citrus and green spicy freshness make Instinct ideal for spring and summer, providing an uplifting clean feel in warmer weather. Its lightness makes it less suited to colder months.
Occasions
Its subtle projection and approachable, clean citrus profile work well for office and casual settings. Not dressy or rich enough for formal evenings, but its energy suits active and daytime use.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its strong projection and clean, energising profile make it excellent for casual wear or sport, evoking a 'fresh out of the shower' feeling. However, for formal settings or the office, its boldness might be a bit much, especially given the polarising notes some detect.
