Which Should You Buy?
A gold standard for citrus cologne lovers - Castile is luminous, soapy, and dignified, radiating effortless cleanliness with a refined Mediterranean twist. Perfect for the office or anytime you crave pure, understated elegance.
This is a lovely, inoffensive summer scent, though its mild performance means it's often more of a 'skin scent' than a room-filler. Perfect for sunny days, if you don't mind reapplying.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Castile's sparkling citrus and neroli heart are perfect for spring and summer, delivering airy freshness that soothes in heat. Its light musk and woods give gentle structure but lack the weight for cold weather.
Occasions
Its discreet projection and soapy cleanliness make it ideal for office and casual wear, as well as post-exercise refreshment. Not suited for formal events, where richer, more opulent scents are preferred.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its light sillage and fresh, inoffensive nature make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, especially in warm weather. While some find it romantic, its average longevity means it's not the best for long formal events, though it's clean and refreshing enough for sport.
