Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Afternoon Swim
This is a juicy, natural orange bomb that brings all the summer vibes, but the price-to-performance ratio has people in a chokehold. Prepare for a glorious, albeit fleeting, citrus burst that you'll either adore enough to reapply constantly or dismiss as wildly overpriced orange juice.

Our Verdict - Verde d'Arancia
A linear, photo-realistic blast of green orange, Monotheme Venezia's Verde d'Arancia is a divisive cheapie: some adore its natural freshness and incredible value, while others are let down by the poor performance and find it too synthetic. Proceed with caution, but if it works for you, it's a summer staple.
