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.

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.

Beast

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the citrus signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
