Which Should You Buy?
This one's a sparkling mandarin delight, praised for its juicy, realistic citrus and surprisingly solid longevity for a freshie. While some find the basil a fleeting whisper, and others a bit too sweet, it's largely a crowd-pleaser for warm weather optimism.
This discontinued gem is a festive, unique, and polarising treat. Expect a bold, tart rhubarb opening that either delights or divides, mellowing into a sweet, spicy vanilla that evokes warm, cozy Christmas memories for its fervent fans.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, optimistic citrus and green notes make it ideal for casual wear, office settings (where it's unlikely to offend), and sport. While generally not formal due to its bright nature, its underlying warmth makes it a pleasant, non-intrusive choice for dates.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong projection and gourmand notes make it quite present, pushing it away from office wear. However, its warming sweetness and sophisticated oriental character lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, particularly in colder weather.
