Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blanc Polychrome

This is a seriously solid contender in the freshie category. Many hail it as an underrated citrus champion, offering surprising longevity and quality for its dynamic lemon and mandarin blast, even if some find it a touch too simple for the price.

Our Verdict - Curacao Bay

This one's a proper chameleon, diving headfirst into the tropical aquatic genre. Some reckon it's a sublime salty-sweet dream, while others find the ambergris and frangipani combination a bit much. A definite love-it-or-hate-it, but undeniably unique.

Its fresh, aquatic, and citrus-heavy profile makes it brilliant for casual and sport settings, especially in warm weather. While some find its performance strong, it's generally considered too casual for formal events and might be a bit too present for a quiet office environment.
