Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Forever Eau de Toilette

A sunny, peppery-fresh Italian barbershop twist that feels crisp yet smooth and always inviting. The kumquat and anise duo keep it memorable while the woody-musky drydown ensures effortless wearability. Ideal for anyone seeking a quietly distinctive signature.

Our Verdict - VSOP Eau de Parfum

Tom Daxon's VSOP is a beautiful but tragically fleeting scent. Many rave about its opening, a truly 'out of this world' blend of boozy warmth and spice, only for it to disappear almost instantly. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some finding the geranium sickening, but the real issue is its blink-and-you-miss-it longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit

Forever Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

The juicy kumquat, bergamot and brisk spicy opening make this a vibrant choice for spring and summer, while the aromatic, slightly creamy and woody base brings enough depth for fall. It can be a bit too sharp-fresh and light for the coldest winter days.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal Sport

Polite projection and a clean, fresh-spicy character make this ideal for office and casual wear, while its cheerful citrusy opening is inviting for daytime dates and even sporty settings. It is less suited for very formal evenings or black-tie events.

VSOP Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Given its exceptionally poor longevity, VSOP isn't ideal for long events, but its sophisticated and warm aromatic profile makes it suitable for shorter dates or casual evening outings. The lack of powerful sillage means it wouldn't offend in an office, but it simply won't last your workday.
