Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Luna EDT
A crystalline citrus floral that glows with Penhaligon's signature refinement. Luna dazzles with fresh lemon and bergamot, layered over soft florals and a whisper of musk, delivering a diaphanous, versatile charm.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Imperial Gold EDP
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.
