Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet distinctive tea fragrance: for some, it's a sublime, sophisticated brew; for others, it's an artificial citrus blast or even bug spray. Definitely one to sample before committing, as your mileage may vary wildly.
This one's a bit of a grandad scent, leaning heavily into a classic barbershop vibe. While some find it refined and sophisticated, others might struggle with its old-school charm and powdery dry-down. Definitely not for the modern crowd, unless you're aiming for ironic.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and versatility make it very suitable for the office and casual wear, as many users found it inoffensive and calming without being too loud. The citrus-tea profile is generally too relaxed for formal events, and certainly not suited for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its subtle sillage and refined character make it suitable for office wear, as it won't offend. The powdery, mature amber notes lend themselves well to formal events, though others might find it too old-fashioned for a date.
