Which Should You Buy?
Phtaloblue is Tauer's most divisive creation to date, a love-it-or-hate-it aquatic that defies traditional blue fragrance expectations. It's a bold, artistic statement, but be warned: some find it an absolute scrubber, while others adore its unique, evocative qualities.
This is a truly gorgeous citrus cologne, natural and bright, but don't expect it to last. If you're a cologne 'hog' you'll drain this beauty in days, so manage your expectations (and your wallet). A genuine breath of fresh air, albeit a fleeting one.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its strong projection and unique, sometimes challenging, profile make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its aquatic and fresh characteristics, coupled with reviews mentioning gym wear, make it ideal for casual and sport usage.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, light profile makes it ideal for casual wear, office settings, and even post-sport refreshment. The poor longevity reported by many means it's not well suited for dates or formal events where projection and staying power are desired.
