Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grower, divisive as hell at first sniff but winning over hearts with its sharp citrus kick and smoky leather dry down. Some rate it a masterpiece, others a rip-off, but it undeniably oozes a sophisticated charm.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast. Floris tried to modernise the fougere, and some reckon they've nailed a sophisticated, smoky green, while others just get an ashtray and weed. Not one for a blind buy.

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

Its blend of classic and modern accords makes it versatile, suitable for formal and office settings where a subtle projection is appreciated. While it possesses fresh elements, the underlying sophisticated leather and woody notes ensure it's not a casual throw-on, nor ideal for active sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and longevity make it acceptable for office wear, but the distinct smoky and green profile pushes it more towards formal or evening events. Reviewers mention it suits sophisticated settings better than casual, daytime activities, and definitely not sport.
