Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tsar

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.

Our Verdict - Horizon

This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who get it, Horizon is a cheapie gem, a unique blend of green, aquatic, and aromatic notes that stands out from the crowd. For others, it's a muddled mess of pine and synthetic weirdness.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tsar

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

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.

Horizon

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile for casual wear and even some sport activities where a clean scent is desired. However, its strong, sometimes polarising opening and classic barbershop vibe might not suit every office or date scenario.
