Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Best Eau de Parfum
If your dad wore a citrusy aftershave in the 80s, this might give you a hit of nostalgia - or send you running for the hills. It's a divisive one, playing on that fresh shaving cream vibe, but surprisingly pulls a crowd for its Aventus-adjacent charm.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Smeralda Extrait
This one's a bold move for sophisticated evenings. If you like your scents boozy, leathery, and dark, Smeralda offers a complex, unapologetically sexy experience that leans into its Italian luxury roots. Not for the faint of heart, but undeniably captivating.

Season and Occasion Fit

Best Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and active settings. While the citrus opening is invigorating, the later leather and amber notes prevent it from being a strictly formal scent.

Smeralda Extrait

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its potent extrait concentration and rich, deep accords like cognac, leather, and incense, Smeralda is far too intense for office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines in evening settings, making it perfect for a romantic date or a formal event where making a statement is desired.
