Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Invasion Barbare Eau de Parfum

A divisive barbershop, this one. Some swear it's a genre-defining masterpiece, a modern fougere elevated to art. Others find it an overpriced, medicinal mess with too much vanilla. One thing's for sure: it's anything but boring. Sample before you commit to the hefty price tag.

Our Verdict - Fiore di Cotone Eau de Parfum

A divisive scent that some adore for its unique blend of clean and gourmand, while others find the herbal notes a bit challenging. If you like Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male but want something a bit cleaner, this could be your jam.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its moderate projection and clean, sophisticated character make it suitable for office wear, though its cost and luxurious feel might be overkill for daily casual use.

Fiore di Cotone Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its clean, somewhat soapy character and moderate intensity make it excellent for casual wear or the office. While nice, the unique scent profile and 'freshly washed clothes' vibe might be a tad too casual for very formal events and it lacks the oomph for a dramatic date night.
