Which Should You Buy?
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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Oceania. Built around Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lemon, it offers the character of the original at a budget price - a wallet-friendly alternative for fans of Oceania.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Best in spring and summer - the citrus, amber profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
