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.
A divisive Jo Malone creation for Zara. Prepare for intensely authentic, juicy mandarin orange, but be warned: for some, the cardamom and wood conjure up floor cleaner or worse. Test before you commit, unless you're into that sort of thing.

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.

Occasions
This is a versatile, albeit casual-leaning, scent. While some find its clean citrus suitable for the office or a refresh after sport, its sometimes potent opening and less-than-subtle nature might be too much for formal events or intimate dates.
