Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Purple Label EDP
This one's a divisive one, always compared to Bleecker Street and Aventus, but can't quite stand on its own for many. Some reckon it's a classy, unique gem, while others are left underwhelmed by its fleeting performance and generic vibe. Try before you buy, mate.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Gaucho EDP
This budget-friendly aromatic woody number kicks off with an assertive green freshness that's surprisingly prominent for the price. Just a shame it doesn't stick around long enough to truly impress, drying down to a barely-there skin scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Purple Label

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its blend of classic woody and aromatic accords, coupled with a generally perceived subdued performance, makes it perfect for formal events and dates where subtlety is key. It's too refined and not fresh enough for casual or sport, and its elegance might be lost in too relaxed an office setting unless oversprayed.

Gaucho

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its moderate projection and fresh, woody profile make it suitable for casual wear and the office, as it's not offensive. However, its poor longevity means it won't hold up for formal events or longer dates.
