Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gentleman Classic EDT
A crisp, understated gentleman's citrus-woody with a touch of old-school refinement, perfect for everyday wear. Its lightness is both its charm and its limit: pleasant, reliable, but never showy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Bad Intense EDP
Diesel Bad Intense is a surprisingly controversial scent that punches well above its weight in terms of performance and uniqueness. Polarising for sure, but a standout choice if you're chasing compliments and unafraid of its bold, savoury edge.

Season and Occasion Fit

Gentleman Classic

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

The crisp citrus and aromatic spices make it uplifting in spring and early summer, while the woody base and subtle spice provide enough warmth for mild fall days. Its lightness is not suited for cold winter weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its discreet projection and fresh, inoffensive character make it ideal for the office or casual outings. It is too understated for formal events and not energetic enough for sport.

Bad Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its immense sillage and longevity make it inappropriate for the office, but perfect for dates and nights out where its warm, spicy, and sensual character can shine. It's a casual evening scent, perhaps, but too dominant for formal events or sport.
