Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - First Breath
A joyous burst of citrus and herbs, First Breath is a crowd-pleaser that embodies vibrant freshness. Perfect if you want to smell clean and invigorated without a hint of fuss.
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.

Lime & Basil

Seasons

Spring Summer
Also Works:
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.
