Which Should You Buy?
Dulcis in Fundo is one of the original creamy citrus gourmands - and it's still a banger. Some find it a bit basic now, but others swear it's the best of its kind. Expect a delightful creamsicle, just beware of batch variations in performance and some rogue sour notes.
This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some will adore its bright, creamy neroli and almond sweetness, others will find it too sharp and even 'soapy'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it first to see which side of the Nile you land on.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
This is a versatile, comforting gourmand that works well for casual day-to-day wear and intimate dates. Its varying performance, from a skin scent to a monster, means for the office it's a bit of a gamble, while its sweetness typically makes it less suited for formal events or sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Given its creamy yet airy projection, Secret du Nil is versatile for casual and date settings, especially during the day. Its moderate longevity and sillage prevent it from being overpowering for office wear, though some find it too polarising for formal events.
