Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Colette Eau de Parfum
A divisive scent for sure: some get ethereal lemon and pine, others get fleeting whispers of 'lemon pound cake' or 'bug spray'. Its main issue is abysmal performance; many find it disappears almost immediately. Love it? Be prepared to bathe in it. Hate it? You're probably just smelling thin air anyway.

Our Verdict - To Be Green Eau de Toilette
A chameleon of a scent; To Be Green is a clean, fresh, and sporty fragrance for everyday wear, evolving with a surprising vanilla drydown. It's a solid choice for the price, but don't expect it to stick around all day.

Its extremely light projection makes it ideal for office, casual, and even sport where stronger scents are inappropriate. It's also pleasant for dates due to its intimate nature. However, the delicate silage won't stand out in formal settings and it's too cozy for high-energy fitness.
