Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - some reckon it's a photorealistic citrus gelato dream, others are convinced it's a £200 bottle of orange cleaning product or, worse, cilantro. Definitely try before you buy, or you might end up smelling like a hot kitchen or rotten fruit.
Perfume Parlour's take on Bond No.9 Little Italy. The juicy clementine-and-grapefruit citrus burst that defines the original is captured well, with Bella Vista pushing a sweeter, fuller fruit and a longer-lasting musk than the often-fleeting designer citrus.

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

Its potent citrus blast makes it a bit too loud for the office and not formal enough. It shines in casual settings and for sport due to its refreshing nature, though some find it too fleeting for long-term wear.
Seasons
The juicy all-citrus profile is made for warm, bright spring and summer days.
Occasions
A clean, uplifting scent ideal for the office, daily and casual wear, too simple for formal occasions.
