Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Rochas Eau de Toilette
A divisive citrus classic, Eau de Rochas splits opinion with its sharp, vintage charm. Some find it a refreshing summer essential, while others are put off by its 'old-school' or 'masculine' edge. Love it or hate it, it's certainly got character.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Vol d'Hirondelle Eau de Parfum
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.
