Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic EDT
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 - Roma Uomo EDT
Roma Uomo is a classic that has proven divisive; some find it a gorgeous, creamy Italian dream, others an irritating, sharp, synthetic disappointment. Performance is contentious too, either eternal or fleeting depending on your skin chemistry. Test before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

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.

Roma Uomo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and creamy, inviting profile make it ideal for casual outings and intimate dates. The sweet and comforting dry down might feel a bit too relaxed for very formal settings, and while some wear it to the gym, its inherent warmth steers it away from being a top-tier sport scent.
