Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, yet adored by its fans. Artisan Pure is a hyper-realistic citrus bomb, perfect for scorching days, though its fleeting presence frustrates many. If you want a summer mood-booster and don't mind reapplying frequently, this is a genuine hidden gem.
A truly gorgeous, spa-like citrus aromatic that's inexplicably holed up in luxury hotel bathrooms. The public's clamouring for it proves Miller Harris is missing a trick - release this gem properly!

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, light citrus and herbal profile, combined with generally moderate to weak performance, makes it ideal for casual summer outings, gym, or office environments where an inoffensive scent is preferred. It's too subdued for formal events or most date nights.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its clean, fresh, and subtle nature, Cologne 1888 is perfectly suited for casual wear and the office, offering a discreet yet pleasant aura. Its spa-like quality also makes it great for relaxed day-to-days, though it might be too understated for formal evening events.
