Which Should You Buy?
Mancera's Soleil d'Italie is a fresh, clean citrus aquatic, but it's a divisive one. You'll either get an uplifting, long-lasting summer dream or a fleeting, generic disappointment. Performance is all over the shop, so sample first to avoid a blind-buy blunder.
If you're after a juiced-up version of Hermès' Un Jardin en Méditerranée, this is it. While some might find it a bit safe, it delivers a complex, long-lasting citrus hit that's hard to beat and sure to impress.
