Freshman

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a Brazilian classic, known to everyone but also considered a bit 'been there, done that'. It's super fresh and energising, a perfect grab-and-go for hot weather, though some argue it's best left to the teens.
Don't let the 1880 launch date fool you. Freshman is a remarkably modern, fresh, and slightly old-school barbershop scent. It gets compared to Cool Water a lot, but this one's got more natural citrus and spice, making it a surprisingly versatile and easy-to-wear everyday option.

Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and aromatic profile, coupled with moderate longevity and sillage, makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warm weather or for sport. While it's too casual for formal events and not complex enough for dates, its refreshing quality could work for some office environments.
