Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sel de Vetiver EDP
This isn't your average vetiver. Sel de Vetiver is a divisive scent, some hail it as a unique masterpiece, others recoil from its sharp, chemical edge. Definitely try before you buy, but for the right nose, it's a refreshing escape.

Our Verdict - Light Blue Living Stromboli EDP
A polarising aquatic fragrance, Living Stromboli is either a criminally underrated freshie with a spicy twist or an uninspired, weak scent with a weird fishy note. For those who love it, a unique Mediterranean escape that beats the original Light Blue. For others, it's a fleeting toilet spray.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sel de Vetiver

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle sillage makes it ideal for office and casual wear, especially in warmer weather many reviewers mention. The occasional sharp or 'bleach-like' note mentioned by some could be off-putting in a formal setting, and moderate longevity might necessitate reapplication for an evening date.
