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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Paco

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.

Spanish Designer For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

The herbal-mossy fougere suits autumn and winter, while the green aromatics keep it wearable in spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
