Which Should You Buy?
A divisive classic that splits opinion between an artful, unique aquatic and a dated, harsh mess. The original 80s trailblazer, New West, is still turning heads, for better or worse, with its powerful green and woody marine vibe.
This one's a divisive Drakkar Noir clone, with some smelling 'bug spray and rubber' and others loving its unique, gender-bending fougère character. It's potent, so expect to be noticed - for better or worse.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its robust projection and longevity, combined with a prominent green and woody profile, make it less suitable for enclosed office spaces. However, its fresh and outdoorsy character is well-suited for casual wear and can even work for dates, though it might be too strong for formal events.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold, long-lasting nature and strong projection make it less suitable for office environments where subtlety is key. It shines on dates and casual outings due to its intriguing, unique character, but might be too intense for some formal settings or physical activity.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Aromatic, Woody, Fresh Spicy accords and Lavender, Jasmine notes
