Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Beat Eau de Toilette

This EDT is a fresh, clean, and utterly inoffensive crowd-pleaser, perfect for those who found its EDP counterpart too intense. Its main drawback is its weak longevity, leading to widespread disappointment among fans who wished this beautiful scent lingered longer.

Our Verdict - Back to the Roots Eau de Parfum

This one is a divisive brew. A super green, woody iris that some will adore for its unique, almost vintage charm, while others will find it just a bit off or too astringent. Definitely not a blind buy.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive character, coupled with weak longevity, makes it highly suitable for office wear and casual daytime activities. However, the lack of strong projection makes it less ideal for dates or formal events where a more impactful presence might be desired.

Office

Its moderate projection and green, clean profile make it suitable for a smart-casual office or daytime wear. However, its unusual character might not be universally appreciated in formal or intimate settings, and it's certainly not for the gym.
