Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic
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 - Néroli Intense
This is an absolute steal for neroli fans, punching well above its weight class. Don't expect beast-mode performance, but the natural, uplifting scent makes it a perfect, affordable everyday refresher for those who love clean, bright citrus florals.
