Which Should You Buy?
Jicky is a bona fide classic, but it's not for everyone. Expect a challenging opening that polarises opinion, from 'mothballs and bad breath' to 'uniquely intriguing'. Give it time to settle, and you'll be rewarded with a complex, sophisticated, clean drydown that hints at its legendary status.
Phtaloblue is Tauer's most divisive creation to date, a love-it-or-hate-it aquatic that defies traditional blue fragrance expectations. It's a bold, artistic statement, but be warned: some find it an absolute scrubber, while others adore its unique, evocative qualities.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sophisticated aromatic and woody accords lean towards more formal and intimate settings, but it can be worn in the office if applied lightly. The initial challenging opening means it's not an instant crowd-pleaser for casual wear or sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its strong projection and unique, sometimes challenging, profile make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its aquatic and fresh characteristics, coupled with reviews mentioning gym wear, make it ideal for casual and sport usage.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Aromatic, Citrus, Fresh Spicy accords and Lavender, Geranium notes
