Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - du Coq
A timeless classic that screams 'spray-on sunshine,' Eau de Cologne du Coq is a refreshing, fleeting joy. Don't expect it to last, but rather to brighten your day and vanish gracefully, like a beautiful memory. It's an indulgence worth having for those moments you need an instant lift.

Our Verdict - Sole di Positano
A bright, summery Tom Ford, let down by a performance that has many questioning the price tag. Expect a beautiful white floral citrus that, for most, vanishes quicker than an Italian summer holiday.

Season and Occasion Fit

du Coq

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its ephemeral nature and fresh citrus-aromatic profile make it perfect for casual, post-shower, or sport wear. It's too subdued and fleeting for a date or formal event, but its clean scent makes it acceptable for an office environment if applied sparingly.

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

This is a wonderfully versatile fresh scent for casual outings and warmer weather, where its light projection is a benefit. Its fleeting nature and bright character make it less ideal for formal events or the focused office environment, but it would be lovely on a daytime date.
