Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic
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.

Our Verdict - Sci Fi
This is a clean, fresh citrus-tea vanilla that's either a quirky, unique delight or a faint, disappointing cleaning product, depending on who you ask. Performance is the biggest sticking point, but for a simple, inoffensive everyday scent, it does the trick.
