Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Arbo
Arbo is a divisive but iconic green scent. It's either a fresh, invigorating forest expedition or an overly sweet, artificial mess. Performance-wise, expect average longevity but a respectable sillage that won't overpower a room.
Favourite
Our Verdict - UDV
This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a cheap, synthetic mess. But for others, it's a bold, masculine masterpiece that punches way above its weight.

Season and Occasion Fit

Arbo

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, green, and clean profile makes it highly suitable for everyday casual wear and can work for sports. Its moderate sillage and lack of strong sweetness make it acceptable for office environments, while its casual vibe reduces its suitability for dates or formal events.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, 'old-school' masculine character and potential for divisive reception make it less suitable for office or very formal settings. However, its bold projection and sensual undertones are perfect for dating, with some reviews pointing to it as a 'game-changer' for compliments.
