Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Neroli Nasimba Eau de Parfum

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't your average fresh neroli. Maison Crivelli's Neroli Nasimba is a polarising, avant-garde take on a classic, serving up a dominant leather accord that some adore and others find utterly unwearable. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but undeniably interesting.

Our Verdict - Saffron Mandarin Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love its realistic, zesty mandarin and unique woody dry down, or find it overwhelmingly sour and screechy. Definitely one to try before you buy a full bottle.

Best For:

Also Works:

Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its distinctive leather-forward profile, even when paired with fresh notes, makes it a daring choice for the office, though some find it perfectly professional. It shines brightest in dressier settings or on a date, where its unique character can truly make an impression, and is generally too sophisticated for casual daily wear.

Spring Winter

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and unique character, make it versatile for casual wear and dates. The intense citrus and spicy opening might be a bit much for a formal setting or a tightly packed office, but it's invigorating for sport.
