Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Original Eau de Parfum
Pino Silvestre Original is a divisive classic. Some find it a refreshing, natural pine forest; others smell only kitchen herbs, cleaning products, or worse. It's a nostalgic trip for many but polarising for new noses - a true love-it-or-hate-it cheapie.
Statement
Our Verdict - Contemporary Eau de Toilette
A fresh, clean scent that's often described as soft and subtle. While some find it a touch too weak, others appreciate its quiet charm, making it a decent everyday reach even if heavy-handed spraying is required.
