Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Soleil d'Italie EDP
Mancera's Soleil d'Italie is a fresh, clean citrus aquatic, but it's a divisive one. You'll either get an uplifting, long-lasting summer dream or a fleeting, generic disappointment. Performance is all over the shop, so sample first to avoid a blind-buy blunder.

Our Verdict - Light Blue Living Stromboli EDP
A polarising aquatic fragrance, Living Stromboli is either a criminally underrated freshie with a spicy twist or an uninspired, weak scent with a weird fishy note. For those who love it, a unique Mediterranean escape that beats the original Light Blue. For others, it's a fleeting toilet spray.

Office Date

Soleil d'Italie's fresh and clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer months. Its moderate sillage and often-reported decent longevity for a 'freshie' mean it won't be overpowering in an office, while projecting enough for a relaxed date or warm-weather activities.
