Which Should You Buy?
A refreshing, zingy citrus explosion that perfectly captures summer in a bottle, although some find it a bit too simple or generic to be truly memorable. It's an easy grab-and-go for those who love a natural, uplifting scent, but don't expect a powerhouse.
This one's a proper cult classic, still mourned years after it was binned. You're either going to love its sharp, green citrus, or find it a painfully dated relic. If you're after that '90s fresh-out-of-the-shower vibe, this is your jam - but good luck finding a bottle that won't cost an arm and a leg.
