Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Prelude to Love
This is a clean, fresh citrus-floral that evokes comparisons to high-end soaps and well-known designer colognes. While some find it beautifully nuanced, many consider it overpriced for a scent that isn't particularly unique or long-lasting compared to its peers.

Our Verdict - Wild Neroli
This one is a divisive take on neroli. Some will love it as a potent, affordable alternative to high-end freshies, while others find its intensity headache-inducing and a bit off-kilter. Expect a robust citrus-floral experience that’s anything but subtle.
