Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Masculin Pluriel EDT
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some swear by its classic charm and modern barbershop vibe, while others are left wanting more for the price. If you want silky lavender and that clean, shaven feel, it delivers, but prepare for debates over its performance - 'beast mode' it ain't.
Favourite
Our Verdict - (homage to) Hemingway EDP
This homage to Hemingway is a divisive, almost-masterful vetiver. It's a complex, rugged beast that some adore for its earthy depth, while others find it too harsh, medicinal, or simply 'soil and grass'. Expect a polarising experience.

Season and Occasion Fit

Masculin Pluriel

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Despite mixed reviews on performance, its clean, understated barbershop profile is perfect for formal settings and the office, where subtlety is key. It's a versatile choice, but its elegance leans away from casual or sport, though some do wear it as a daily driver.

(homage to) Hemingway

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its bold and potentially overwhelming vetiver profile, coupled with reports of strong projection, makes it less suitable for office wear. The sophisticated, distinctive character lends itself well to formal events and date nights, where a statement scent is appreciated, though it might be a bit much for casual settings.
