Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sr. N

This Brazilian classic has seen a few reformulations over the years, making it less of a 'loud, invasive, tenacious' beast and more of a refreshing everyday wear. Now it's a solid, natural-smelling green citrus that pleases many, while still holding a place in the hearts of those who remember its vintage roar.

Our Verdict - Terre de Bois

This discontinued aromatic-citrus-woody scent sparks strong opinions: a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some hailing its unique green bitterness and others recoiling from its sharp, soapy quirks. It's a challenging but rewarding wear for those who appreciate its offbeat charm.

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its fresh, clean, and invigorating profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer weather given its bright citrus and aromatic accords. While it's toned down from its original beast-mode, the strong citrus and green notes, particularly for some, could still be a bit much for a formal setting. Its current incarnation is well-suited for the office, offering a professional cleanliness without being overpowering.
