Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper cult classic, loved by many for its timeless masculine elegance. The hype surrounding its discontinuation and re-release drama is real, so grab a vintage bottle if you can, but don't break the bank for it.
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.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its classic, sophisticated character, with moderate projection and excellent longevity, makes it suitable for formal settings and dates without being overpowering. It's too refined for sport and could be a bit much for a casual office environment, though some find it clean enough for daily wear.
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.
