Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cedro di Taormina
A delightful, fresh woody-citrus that perfectly captures Italian summer vibes. Though sadly discontinued, this crowd-pleaser garners widespread love for its uplifting character, despite some gripes about its subtle projection.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Modest Une
This one's a proper troublemaker. Afnan's Modest Une is either a beast-mode, spot-on Sauvage dupe that lasts forever, or a barely-there skin scent that smells of dodgy cardboard. You'll either love it or furiously return it.

Occasions

Best For:
