Which Should You Buy?
A barbershop fougère reimagined for the modern man. Crisp basil, lavender, and white musk conjure the immaculate feel of a classic shave, making this one of the cleanest and most refined everyday scents in its genre.
Stockholm 1978 is a divisive scent: a promising herbal-citrus opening gives way to a powdery, mossy dry down that many find reminiscent of baby wipes. It's unique, but whether that's a good thing is up to your nose.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Bright aromatic herbs and citrus make it ideal for spring and fall, evoking freshness and crisp air. Its clean, soapy character suits mild temperatures, while moderate warmth and projection make it less optimal for summer heat or deep winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and clean, professional vibe are perfect for office and daytime casual settings. The refined fougère structure fits smart-casual dates but is understated for formal events or high-energy sportswear.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its clean, soapy nature makes it a decent casual wear, but its divisive character means it's not a safe bet for formal or date settings. Performance is varied according to reviews, with some finding it light and others noting its scrub-resistance, suggesting it leans towards moderate for most settings.
