Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Sapphire
A brilliant, versatile crowd-pleaser that builds on the BR540 DNA with a candied orange twist. It's an underrated gem that deserves more attention, perfect for everyday allure.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Best
This one's a bit of a slow burn. The opening citrus can be a sharp smack to the face, but if you've got the patience for the dry-down, you'll be rewarded with something rather lovely and clean. Perfect if you want to smell like posh toiletries.
