Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Horizon
This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who get it, Horizon is a cheapie gem, a unique blend of green, aquatic, and aromatic notes that stands out from the crowd. For others, it's a muddled mess of pine and synthetic weirdness.
Statement
Our Verdict - New West
A divisive classic that splits opinion between an artful, unique aquatic and a dated, harsh mess. The original 80s trailblazer, New West, is still turning heads, for better or worse, with its powerful green and woody marine vibe.

Season and Occasion Fit

Horizon

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile for casual wear and even some sport activities where a clean scent is desired. However, its strong, sometimes polarising opening and classic barbershop vibe might not suit every office or date scenario.

New West

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its robust projection and longevity, combined with a prominent green and woody profile, make it less suitable for enclosed office spaces. However, its fresh and outdoorsy character is well-suited for casual wear and can even work for dates, though it might be too strong for formal events.
