Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Italian Cypress Eau de Parfum
A divisive masterpiece, Italian Cypress is hailed by many as Tom Ford's best work, though some find its classic, masculine leanings a bit dated. It's a commanding, high-quality scent that demands respect.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hugo Iced Eau de Parfum
Hugo Iced is a divisive freshie; some love its cooling, clean vibe for summer, while others find it too generic, synthetic, and fleeting. If you're after a blast of minty citrus for scorching days, and don't mind reapplying often, this might be your jam. Otherwise, you'll feel short-changed.

Seasons

Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Hugo Iced Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean, and moderate-to-weak projection makes it suitable for office wear without being overwhelming. Perfect for casual outings and especially sports due to its declared 'cooling' effect and refreshing profile, but too informal for dates or formal events.
