Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 89 Eau de Toilette
A quintessential barbershop fougère with a brisk citrus and lavender opening, refined florals, and a powdery, woody base. Understated, dignified, and supremely British, it is suited for those who value tradition and subtlety over trends.

Our Verdict - Deseo Eau de Parfum
This much-missed J Lo gem is a real shapeshifter; one minute it's a humid, verdant rainforest, the next it's a fresh beach on a clear evening, with a surprising amount of sophistication for a celeb scent. The pickle juice note some detect proves it's not for everyone, but fans are utterly devoted.

Season and Occasion Fit

No. 89 Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

The crisp citrus and aromatic freshness shine in spring and early summer, while the powdery woods and moss lend themselves to cool autumn days. It is less suited to heavy winter wear due to its lightness and low warmth.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Formal

Its clean, reserved projection and classic barbershop elegance make it ideal for office and formal settings. It is also a discreet yet sophisticated choice for casual wear, but lacks the energy and sportiness for gym or active occasions.

Deseo Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its moderate sillage and fresh, clean character make it a good fit for office or casual wear by day, while the underlying sensuality of its woody, musky base lends itself well to evening dates. It's too unique and natural for most formal events.
