Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Homme EDT
A crisp, modern take on masculine woods that's quietly confident and effortlessly wearable. Dior Homme EDT 2020 is office-perfect and versatile, favoring clarity and comfort over drama or sweetness.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Apsley EDC
This one's a divisive affair. Some find it a decent woody-citrus barbershop scent, but for many, the harsh cedar and grapefruit leans too close to cleaning product. Try before you buy, unless you really love that sharp, pine-disinfectant vibe.

Season and Occasion Fit

Homme

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Dior Homme EDT 2020 is versatile and leans fresh-woody, making it ideal for spring and fall when moderate warmth and clean woods shine. It is light enough for summer but lacks the depth for coldest winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its unobtrusive projection, modern woods, and gentle musky base make it perfect for office and casual settings. Subdued presence and moderate intensity mean it never overwhelms, but is less suited to formal or sporty occasions.

Apsley

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it suitable for casual wear, but the powerful citrus and harsh woody notes might be too intense for some office environments. It lacks the subtle elegance needed for formal events or the specific allure for a dedicated date night.
