Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict -

This Penhaligon's classic receives high praise for its fresh, vibrant character but its fleeting longevity means it's more of a brief, refreshing pick-me-up than a lasting perfume statement. Prepare for a quick, bright burst that fades fast.

Our Verdict - No.1 Le Premier

Seriously underrated; a clean, unapologetically fresh citrus that's bright without being boring. If you rate aldehydes, this is a must-try. Subtle yet impactful, it's a classy act for those who prefer understated elegance.
