The Vintage Green 78 focuses on green tea, fig, and bergamot. Its scent was created by the perfumer Gino Percontino and smells remarkably like fresh-cut leaves and citrus fruit. Its technical dry-down is smooth and clean, offering a longevity of 5 to 6 hours, though some reviewers say 4-5 hours. It serves as a modern, sophisticated alternative to the heavier heritage scents on our list of best cheap colognes for men.

Vintage Green 78 was launched in May 2017 and was part of the original debut of the Icon Collection, which is a heritage-based series of unisex fragrances designed to commemorate significant years in the brand’s history.
