Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Quercus Eau de Cologne

A sparkling rush of citrus and green, Quercus is the ultimate crisp-shirt cologne: refined, discreet, and effortlessly uplifting. The longevity is modest, but the clarity and British charm are unmatched.

Our Verdict - Kaiak Eau de Parfum

This one's a Brazilian classic, known to everyone but also considered a bit 'been there, done that'. It's super fresh and energising, a perfect grab-and-go for hot weather, though some argue it's best left to the teens.
