Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Expect a clean, herbal-citrus hit that some will find refreshing, others incredibly old-fashioned. It's a Marmite scent - you'll either get it or you won't.
This one's a bit of a chameleon: a brighter, sharper take on a classic vetiver that divides opinion. Some find it a superior alternative to Terre d'Hermes, while others feel it's just 'basic' or too harsh up front. Give it time to settle; the drydown is where the magic (or indeed, the mediocrity) happens.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.
Occasions
Its versatile profile, with a fresh opening and a refined woody-spicy drydown, makes it suitable for many occasions. While its sillage is moderate, it's generally considered inoffensive for office wear, and its sophisticated warmth fits well for casual outings or dates.
