Which Should You Buy?
This venerable 'cologne' smells fantastic - a bright, classical citrus-herbal pick-me-up. Just don't expect it to last longer than your morning cuppa. It's truly a blink-and-you'll-miss-it affair, a fragrant whisper rather than a shout, but brilliant for what it is.
This is a real 'love it or hate it' frag, mostly because it's such an authentic lime. But even the biggest fans admit it's got the longevity of a fruit fly, making it a bit of a scandalous waste for the price tag.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its extremely poor longevity and sillage make it unsuitable for situations requiring lasting presence, such as formal events or intimate dates. However, its refreshing nature and non-intrusive scent profile make it perfect for casual wear, after showering, or for a pick-me-up during sports or office hours where a fleeting scent is preferred.
Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Its intensely fresh and invigorating citrus profile makes it ideal for sport and casual wear, especially in hot weather. However, its notoriously poor longevity and sillage mean it won't last long enough for a date or formal event, and its 'cleaning fluid' vibe might be unwelcome in an office setting.
