Which Should You Buy?
PDM Greenley is a fresh, woody powerhouse that’s either a masterclass in green apple sophistication or a very expensive shower gel - there's no in-between. Its divisive nature makes it a love-it-or-hate-it scent, but for those who get it, it's a versatile, long-lasting green dream.
Tom Ford's Black Violet is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it woodland odyssey. Discontinued, of course, because anything this interesting can't possibly stick around. If you track down an authentic bottle, you're in for a ride.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile, combined with good longevity and moderate projection, makes it highly suitable for casual wear and invigorating sport activities. It's too distinctive and potentially divisive for very formal settings, but its modern appeal works well for dates, and it's generally inoffensive enough for an office, provided applied lightly.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong character and occasional beast-mode performance, this isn't one for the office. It truly shines on a date or for formal events, where its mysterious and sensual qualities can be appreciated without being overpowering. Casual wear is possible, but it feels a bit much for everyday errands.
