Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'

This one is a classic and divisive barbershop freshie, a lighter, zesty take on the original Azzaro Pour Homme. Fans rave about its sharp, sophisticated freshness, while others find it too old-school or even 'urine-like'. Truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for its loyalists, it's a gem.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Black Label

This is a proper old-school gentleman's scent, though it might be a bit too 'vintage aftershave' for some. Definitely a classic, but one you'll be lucky to get your hands on now.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its lighter projection and fresh, clean scent make it versatile for office or casual wear. While some find it too old-school for a date, its clean barbershop vibe can be appealing. It's too subdued for formal events.

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Office Date

Its classic, clean aromatic profile with woody depth makes it suitable for formal settings and the office without being overtly flashy. While not a casual go-to, its refined character could work for a sophisticated date. It's definitely not a sport scent.
