Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Jo Malone creation for Zara. Prepare for intensely authentic, juicy mandarin orange, but be warned: for some, the cardamom and wood conjure up floor cleaner or worse. Test before you commit, unless you're into that sort of thing.
This is a brilliantly bright and zesty everyman scent that smells far more expensive than it is. It's a crowd-pleasing, uplifting freshie that punches well above its weight, particularly for spring and summer. Expect compliments and surprised giggles when you reveal the price.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
This is a versatile, albeit casual-leaning, scent. While some find its clean citrus suitable for the office or a refresh after sport, its sometimes potent opening and less-than-subtle nature might be too much for formal events or intimate dates.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its fresh, citrusy, and aromatic profile, coupled with moderate projection, makes it ideal for office and casual wear without being overpowering. While not a heavy hitter, its clean and uplifting nature is perfect for sport and daily wear, though less suited for very formal events or a loud clubbing scene.
