Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Rochas
A divisive citrus classic, Eau de Rochas splits opinion with its sharp, vintage charm. Some find it a refreshing summer essential, while others are put off by its 'old-school' or 'masculine' edge. Love it or hate it, it's certainly got character.

Our Verdict - Pomelo Sorrento
A truly gorgeous, if fleeting, burst of bottled sunshine. Pomelo Sorrento is a divisive freshie - adored for its bright, juicy citrus and tea, but panned by some for its poor longevity and projection. Try before you buy, but prepare to be charmed.
