Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Orange & Bergamot
A surprisingly tenacious and well-rounded citrus that sidesteps common pitfalls, though some find it a bit too mature or reminiscent of home fragrances. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who love a refined orange and bergamot blend, but prepare for diverse opinions.

Our Verdict - Mandarino di Sicilia
This perfume is a triumph for citrus lovers, delivering a hyper-realistic mandarin that feels plucked straight from the tree. Whilst performance is average, Mandarino di Sicilia is a sophisticated, naturally-blended citrus that stands out from the crowd.
