Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Explorer Platinum
A bright, modern woody scent that stands out for its crisp, ozonic lift and balanced herbal heart. Effortlessly versatile, it feels both relaxed and assertively clean.
Favourite
Our Verdict - The Moon and I
This is a photorealistic tea scent that smells absolutely gorgeous, but it's a criminal understatement performance-wise. Prepare for disappointment given the insane price tag - this is for tea obsessives with money to burn, and only if you plan to reapply every hour.

Season and Occasion Fit

Explorer Platinum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

The fresh green and ozonic opening, paired with herbal and woody notes, make it ideal for spring and early fall. Its crispness works in summer, but it may lack warmth for cold winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate projection and clean, woody freshness make it versatile for office and casual wear. It's inoffensive and modern enough for date settings, but not quite dressy or sporty.

The Moon and I

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its extremely weak performance makes it ideal for intimate settings like the office where you don't want to offend. However, this same poor longevity means it struggles in any other scenario, especially dates or formal events where you'd want more presence. You'd be reapplying constantly on a casual day out.
