Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Orange Bitters EDP
This one's a festive shapeshifter. Some reckon it's a quintessential Christmas cocktail, all bright citrus and warming spices, while others find it a bit too masculine, woody, and fleeting. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, so brace for an experience.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Orange Bitters Cologne (2023) EDP
A divisive cologne that captures the authentic, festive essence of bitter orange. Some find it beautiful and cosy, others are underwhelmed by its fleeting nature and a 'cough medicine' opening. It's a proper winter citrus that works best in colder weather.
