Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Swiss Army
This 90s classic is a divisive little number. Some adore its fresh, green charm and claim it's a compliment magnet, while others find it screechy, dated, and reminiscent of cheap aftershave or even Windex. A true love-it-or-hate-it cheapie.

Our Verdict - Absinthe Boréale
This one's a divisive brew; some hail it as a refreshing, modern aromatic with spa-like serenity, others dismiss it as an overpriced, generic fougère that fizzles fast. If you're after a clean, green, subtle scent for close encounters, sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit

Swiss Army

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and often subtly projecting nature makes it a perfect fit for the office, casual wear, and sports. While some find it sexy enough for dates, its lack of gravitas and perceived cheapness by some reviewers make it less ideal for formal settings.

Absinthe Boréale

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it excellent for office and casual wear. The poor longevity and sillage, highlighted by many reviews, mean it's unlikely to overwhelm in close quarters but also won't stand out for dates or formal events.
