Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Swedish Wood
This one's a divisive beast, often compared to FM's Promise but with a unique, luxurious twist. Expect high quality, but know that its massive sillage and longevity aren't for the faint-hearted.

Our Verdict - Prince
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; it aims for fresh and inoffensive but some found it veers into furniture polish territory. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation.

Season and Occasion Fit

Swedish Wood

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its massive sillage and longevity make it too potent for an office setting, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. The luxurious woody and oud accords lend themselves well to special occasions where you want to be noticed.

Prince

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, inoffensive character makes it suitable for casual wear and the office, though its performance might be an issue. It won't quite shine in formal settings given its lighter profile.
