Which Should You Buy?
Tom Daxon's VSOP is a beautiful but tragically fleeting scent. Many rave about its opening, a truly 'out of this world' blend of boozy warmth and spice, only for it to disappear almost instantly. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some finding the geranium sickening, but the real issue is its blink-and-you-miss-it longevity.
V on the Rocks is a well-balanced unisex fragrance that offers a refreshing aromatic experience, suitable for almost any occasion.

Occasions

Seasons
V on the Rocks, with its fresh spicy and aromatic nature, works well for the warmer weather of spring and summer, while its complexity also makes it fitting for the transitional fall season.
Occasions
