Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Yerbamate

This one's a wild card. Some reckon it's a unique, natural delight, a complex journey from sharp green to powdery softness. Others? Think old lady's makeup, baby wipes or even plastic dolls. Wear it if you dare, but definitely try it first.

Statement

Our Verdict - Oxford

Oxford is a complex, herbal powerhouse - a love-it-or-hate-it scent that some find unique and intriguing, while others struggle with its potent opening and perceived lack of linearity. It's bold, unapologetic, and definitely not for those who prefer delicate fragrances.

Season and Occasion Fit

Yerbamate

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Sport

Its moderate projection and green, clean character make it versatile for casual wear and suitable for office environments if applied lightly. However, the unique, sometimes divisive powdery dry down and less conventional aroma reduce its appropriateness for formal events or romantic dates.

Oxford

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date

Given its strong projection and complex, unconventional character, Oxford isn't ideal for office wear. It shines in casual settings or unique date nights where its distinctive nature can be appreciated, though it might be a bit too imposing for formal events. The mentions of it being a perfect weekend fragrance or suited for exploring old country houses reinforce its casual to semi-formal leanings.
