Which Should You Buy?
This one's a modern classic, divisive only by its weaker current formulation. The vintage was a beast and still represents understated elegance for those who know; newer batches still deliver the sophisticated tea-and-citrus freshness, just with less brawn.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. While some reckon it's a stellar, fizzy gin and tonic for a luxurious summer, many others find it a generic, fleeting freshie, overpriced and synthetic to boot. Don't blind buy unless you like risk and disappointment.

Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual and sport settings, and even the office due to its debated moderate sillage. However, its perceived lack of longevity and formality makes it less ideal for formal events or evening dates.
