Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kaiak Urbe Eau de Parfum

This one's a fresh, clean, and surprisingly natural smelling everyday scent that punches well above its weight for the price. It's an underrated gem that'll have you feeling confident and put-together without breaking the bank.

Favourite

Our Verdict - 1-12 Eau de Parfum

A divisive but undeniably classic green fougere that screams '70s swagger. For the price, it's a steal if you appreciate its soapy, aromatic charm, but don't expect modern appeal or beast-mode performance from current formulations.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile makes it ideal for daily wear, especially in casual or office settings, though its moderate projection keeps it from being overwhelming. The minty freshness and good longevity for the price also make it a strong contender for sport, while some find it appealing enough for a summer date.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date

Its clean, soapy nature makes it versatile for casual wear and suitable for a relaxed office. However, its vintage barbershop scent might be too 'old-school' for formal events or modern date nights, and it's not well-suited for sport due to its profile and moderate performance.
