Which Should You Buy?
This is summer in a bottle, if summer meant peeling mandarins in a herb garden. It's a proper mood lifter, but be prepared for it to fade faster than your holiday tan. A love-it-or-hate-it basil note makes it divisive, so try before you buy.
A truly gorgeous, realistic bitter orange that's often described as a masterpiece - until punters clock the truly abysmal performance for the price. If you want pure, fleeting citrus bliss, apply liberally and often. If you expect more for your money, you'll be disappointed.

Occasions
Its fresh, light and clean profile makes it perfect for casual wear or sport. While it's inoffensive enough for the office, its fleeting nature might require reapplication, and it's generally too bright for formal events.
