Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Inspired by Colonia

Match Fragrances' interpretation of Acqua di Parma's Colonia (1916) - the founding Italian eau de cologne that became Acqua di Parma's defining signature and a classic citrus-aromatic, here translated into a Sicilian lemon-bergamot opening over lavender and rosemary with a patchouli-vetiver close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime classic wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Our Verdict - Vitalising Vitamin AB+C Eau Fraîche

This is a clean, bright citrus blast that's almost universally likeable. Perfect for those who want a refreshing zest without overwhelming the room; just don't expect it to stick around all day.
