Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Neroli Riviera Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it. Some call it a dead ringer for a high-end rival at a fraction of the price, boasting excellent performance. Others, however, reckon it smells like toilet cleaner or fruit loops. Proceed with caution, or at least a maceration period.
Statement
Our Verdict - Dior Star Eau de Toilette
Dior Star is a divisive one. Some adore its fresh, vibrant character that channels bottled springtime, while others find it sharp, green and surprisingly cheap for Dior. It's truly a 'love it or hate it' fragrance.

Given its fresh, clean, and citrus-heavy profile, this is an excellent choice for casual wear and warmer weather. While some find its projection considerable, it's generally deemed suitable for spring and summer, making it a good fit for everyday outings and even a post-gym refresh. It's less suited for formal events due to its invigorating nature, and some may find it too loud for a quiet office setting.

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions
