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.

Our Verdict - Yardley Gentleman Urbane
A fresh, green, and soapy scent that punches above its weight for the price, though you'll need to be quick - its staying power is undeniably weak. It's a decent, no-frills everyday option, but don't expect a dupe for high-end classics.

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.

Spring Summer

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Given its fresh, clean, and soapy character, this fragrance excels in casual and post-sport scenarios. Its poor longevity makes it suitable for shorter outings like office wear or quick errands, but it lacks the depth and projection for formal events or evening dates.
