Which Should You Buy?
This 90s powerhouse is a divisive blast from the past. For some, it's a 'holy grail' of masculine freshness and confidence, a clean and spicy aromatic with 'cool sweetness'. For others, it's simply 'outdated', 'pedestrian', or even 'smells like wax in a church'. Prepare for a strong opinion, one way or the other.
Skip this one. Despite the name, there's nothing particularly 'Confident' about it; just a muddled, thyme-heavy aroma that fails to create any intrigue or pleasantness.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its bold nature and strong sillage, particularly in vintage formulations, push it away from an everyday office scent. However, its clean and sophisticated aromatic profile makes it suitable for formal settings and a confident choice for dates and social casual wear, with many reviewers praising its versatile masculinity.

Occasions
Its unusual, somewhat jarring profile isn't really suited for formal or intimate date settings. Given the general consensus on its strong herbal opening, it's best kept casual or avoided entirely for public wear.
