Which Should You Buy?
Polo Green is a legendary powerhouse - a forest in a bottle, projecting confidence and old-school masculinity with its dense blend of pine, leather, tobacco and moss.
This one's a proper time capsule, polarizing opinion but cherished by old-school enthusiasts. Forget the modern gunk; if you want a classic aromatic powerhouse with barber shop vibes, get your hands on a vintage bottle.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The strong green, woody and mossy profile is ideal for brisk spring and earthy autumn days, while its leathery-tobacco richness holds up well in winter. It can overwhelm in hot summer weather.
Occasions
Its bold, classic masculinity and assertive projection suit formal occasions and confident casual wear, but the intensity can be too much for modern offices or sporty settings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Older formulations of Pour Lui have considerable projection and longevity, making it less suitable for a casual office environment. However, its sophisticated and clean-yet-complex profile lends itself well to formal events and date nights, where its powerful presence can be appreciated. Newer formulations are much weaker, making them more versatile for office or casual wear but sacrificing the 'powerhouse' aspect.
