Which Should You Buy?
Castley is PDM's fresh, peppery office all-rounder. Love it or hate it, many find it a compelling, modern everyday scent. Despite the online drama, it’s a solid performer that elevates your day, though for some, it’s just another expensive, safe freshie.
This one's a sophisticated citrus with a spicy twist - a proper crowd-pleaser that smells far more expensive than it is. While some find it a bit too 'soda-like', most rave about its undeniable elegance and versatility.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its fresh spicy and citrus accords, combined with consistent community feedback on its suitability for professional settings, make it an excellent office and casual wear. While it has good performance, it remains inoffensive enough for various occasions, though perhaps a bit too energetic for truly formal events.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh, yet sophisticated, profile make it excellent for office and casual wear, with reviewers repeatedly highlighting its office-friendliness. While suitable for dates, its more formal appropriateness is somewhat limited by its citrus dominance.
