Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pleasures For Men

A divisive scent from the 90s that’s now experiencing a bit of a nostalgic resurgence. Many still adore its unique clean freshness, while others find its retro vibe a bit too dated and synthetic. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's pure pleasure.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Traviata

Divisive, complex, and certainly not a safe blind buy. Traviata is for those bored with the mainstream, offering a unique and challenging experience. You'll either love how boundary-pushing and elegant it is, or find it screechy and metallic.

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive character makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, with some users mentioning it as a preferred work scent. While some find it romantic, its moderate performance and 'fresh out of the shower' vibe lean it more towards daytime activities and sport than formal occasions.

Traviata

Seasons

Best For:

Summer Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and summer pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Given its complexity and potent character, Traviata is best suited for evenings and special events rather than a casual office setting. Its sophisticated woody-amber base, combined with the 'not for everybody' sentiment from reviews, makes it ideal for distinctive date nights or formal gatherings where you want to stand out.
