Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Imperial Gold
If a fresh, citrusy blast is what you're after without breaking the bank, Imperial Gold delivers. It's a crowd-pleasing, dependable clone that might lack a bit of evolution, but it certainly gets the job done for the price.
Acquired
Our Verdict - L'Aventure Ciel
Skip. This one's an identity crisis in a bottle, getting mixed up with other L'Aventure clones and failing to hit a mark of its own. It's a nice enough airy floral, but performance is a real issue for many, making it a questionable blind buy.

Its fresh and clean citrus-woody profile makes it highly versatile for casual wear and daily use.

It's too light for formal events but bright enough for sporty activities.
