Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Polo Green EDT
Polo Green is a legendary powerhouse - a forest in a bottle, projecting confidence and old-school masculinity with its dense blend of pine, leather, tobacco and moss.

Our Verdict - Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme EDP
This 70s powerhouse is a divisive beast: one part luxurious soap, one part gothic rose-leather beast, it's either a classic masterpiece or a headache-inducing anachronism. Love it or hate it, it certainly knows how to make a statement.

Season and Occasion Fit

Polo Green

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The strong green, woody and mossy profile is ideal for brisk spring and earthy autumn days, while its leathery-tobacco richness holds up well in winter. It can overwhelm in hot summer weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its bold, classic masculinity and assertive projection suit formal occasions and confident casual wear, but the intensity can be too much for modern offices or sporty settings.

Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and longevity make it unsuitable for the office, where it could overwhelm. The rich, dark character of leather and rose, coupled with strong performance, renders it ideal for formal events and romantic winter evenings, but far too heavy for casual or sport wear.
