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 - Dallas EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Acqua di Parma Colonia (1916) - sicilian citrus, lavender and vetiver translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
