Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Grapefruit
This one's a divisive hit-or-miss. Some rave about its fresh, invigorating citrus kick, while others find it too sharp, too masculine, or just not grapefruity enough. If you're after a pure, sweet grapefruit, look elsewhere. If a complex, aromatic citrus with an unexpected edge sounds good, maybe give it a sniff.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lime & Basil
This one's a proper marmite scent - you'll either adore its unique, salty-citrus kick or find it a bit much. It's a bold, fresh take that certainly doesn't play subtle, so be prepared for it to make an entrance.

Season and Occasion Fit

Grapefruit

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, especially given its intimate sillage. However, the often-described masculine edge and lack of sweetness make it less ideal for dates or formal events where a more universally appealing or elegant scent might be preferred.

Seasons

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its striking freshness and intensity make it a great casual or sport scent, effectively cutting through the air. However, its strong projection and distinctive character might be too overpowering for formal settings or a conservative office environment. It can be a vibrant choice for a relaxed date, but perhaps not a first introduction.
