Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - This is not a Blue Bottle 1.6

This citrus-floral blend is a proper mixed bag. Some reckon it's a stellar, natural-smelling stunner, while others find it a weak, boring, or overly bitter affair. You'll either love how it sparkles or hate its green, sharp edges - definitely try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Fleur d'Oranger

This budget-friendly orange blossom is a bit of a mixed bag; some rave about its creamy drydown, while others find it too fleeting or just a bit bland. If you’re after a pure, unassuming neroli hit, it’s worth a punt, but don't expect fireworks.

Seasons

Best For:

Summer

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, energetic citrus and floral accords make it an excellent pick for casual wear and suitable for office environments where a strong projection is avoided. Although some find it to have strong projection, its general character and average longevity don't lend themselves to formal events or intimate dates.

Fleur d'Oranger

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh, and subtle character, coupled with many noting mediocre projection and longevity, makes it an ideal fit for office or casual wear where it won't be overpowering. It's too understated for formal events and lacks the intensity for a romantic date, though it's perfectly suitable for relaxed daytime activities.
