Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eau Sauvage
A modern, zesty citrus blast that gets the job done for hotter days. It's divisive, with some loving its fresh energy and others finding it too synthetic or simply preferring the original. Performance for a 'cologne' concentration is surprisingly decent, though some find it fleeting.

Our Verdict - Kenneth Cole Vintage Black
Seriously polarising: some people absolutely adore this uplifting lime bomb, while others find it a synthetic headache in a bottle. Despite its name, there's nothing 'vintage' or 'black' about this fresh, citrus-heavy scent. A cheapie that punches above its weight for some.

Season and Occasion Fit

Date

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive citrus-aromatic profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear, especially in warm weather. While not overly strong, the projection and longevity are good enough for these settings. It's a bit too casual for formal events, and just right for sport thanks to its refreshing nature.
