Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Eagle Sport EDP
A vibrant, long-lasting citrus stunner for warm weather, though its price tag and "hair conditioner" drydown can be a tough pill to swallow for some. Expect plenty of compliments if you can justify the hefty cost.

Our Verdict - Blu Eagle (UK Exclusive) EDP
Blu Eagle is Alexandria UK's take on Stefano Ricci's Royal Eagle Sport - the same crisp mandarin-grapefruit opening and green tea heart, but the herbal basil reads thinner and the sandalwood-musk base fades faster, landing closer to a bright citrus splash than the original's polished sport-luxe trail.

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

Office Date

Its exceptional longevity for a citrus scent and moderate projection make it perfect for casual daytime wear and sports. While its freshness is suitable for an office, its vibrancy might be a bit much for very formal client meetings. It's a bit too casual for formal evenings but could work for an outdoor day date.
