Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Italian Citrus EDP
This takes you on a trip to the Italian coast, but the destination is rather divisive. Some find it a perfectly crisp, authentic citrus that evokes Mediterranean charm, while others are baffled by its weak performance and unusual dry down. You'll either get sun-drenched lemons or something akin to bad aftershave.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Japanese Musk EDT
A fresh and subtle musk that suits everyday wear without being overpowering.
