Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Totem Blue Eau de Toilette
A straightforward, sweet pineapple scent that's easy to like but suffers from weak performance. It's a casual crowd-pleaser that some find a bit too uninspired, but others appreciate its unpretentious charm.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Erba Gold Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper fruit bomb, so beware: it's not shy. Erba Gold doubles down on tropical sweetness, moving beyond Erba Pura's sharp tang. It's divisive - some find it an addictive, mass-appealing summer banger; others, a synthetic headache in a bottle. Sample it first if you don't fancy choking out your mates.

Its fresh, fruity character and reported moderate to weak performance make it ideal for casual wear or sports. It's too light and playful for formal settings, and might struggle to make an impact on a date, but is suitable enough for a relaxed office environment.
