Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Paco

Paco is either a fantastic, fresh, underrated gem or an overpowering pine-sol mess, depending on who you ask. Most agree it's a nostalgic, affordable, and surprisingly masculine take on the 90s fresh scent profile, though its performance is often seen as its main drawback.

Our Verdict - Spanish Designer For Men

Spanish Designer copies Paco Rabanne pour Homme - that landmark dry, soapy, green aromatic fougere of herbs over oakmoss, honey and tobacco-warm base. The dupe captures the barbershop character but reads flatter and less refined than the 1973 classic.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle aquatic-citrus nature makes it perfect for casual wear, including the gym, as many reviews suggest. However, its often reported poor longevity and intimate projection means it would be lost in a formal setting, and it might be a bit too 'just showered' for a date.
