Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Salt
Salt is a clever, atmospheric scent that conjures windswept coastal landscapes without resorting to typical marine notes. It's a subtle, naturalistic aroma that polarises slightly but mostly garners praise for its unique take on freshness, though some find its fleeting performance a let-down.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Only You Black
This budget-friendly scent delivers a warm, spicy hit that punches above its weight for the price. Don't expect beastly performance, but it's a solid everyday choice if you're after that Givenchy Gentleman-esque vibe without breaking the bank.

Season and Occasion Fit

Salt

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, subtle, and naturalistic aromatic profile makes it ideal for casual wear and even office settings, as it stays close to the skin. While it works year-round, its freshness suits warmer weather and active use, though its poor longevity might disappoint.

Only You Black

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its warm spicy character and modest performance make it best suited for casual wear or dates where close proximity is desired. It's too soft for formal events and not fresh enough for sport, while its dark, cosy feel makes it less ideal for the office.
