Which Should You Buy?
A citrus-herbal daytime burst of bergamot, lemon and basil lifted by ginger and white grapefruit, grounded by cypress and vetiver. A sun-bright aromatic for warm-weather daily wear.
A truly gorgeous, photo-realistic clementine opener that is universally adored. If only that vibrant top note stuck around, this would be a year-round staple. As it stands, it's a fleeting summer dream, perfect for an instant pick-me-up - just be prepared to reapply often.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Bergamot, lemon, basil and grapefruit over cypress and vetiver create a sun-bright aromatic-citrus structure that shines in spring and summer. Too light for winter; the woody drydown just about stretches into early fall.
Occasions
Arm's-length projection and clean citrus-aromatic character make it office-safe and sport-tolerant; casual daytime is the primary fit. Lacks the gravitas for formal evenings.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its luminous, clean profile and notoriously poor longevity make it perfectly suited for casual wear or the office, where subtlety is key. It's too ephemeral and light for formal events and lacks the depth for a serious date night, but perfect for a quick, refreshing lift before or after sport.
