Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a fresh, uplifting blast of citrus and clean florals, a proper spring awakening. It's a bit of a mixed bag on performance and drydown, with some finding it fades too fast or gets a bit laundry-like, but for sheer invigorating brightness, it’s a winner for many.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

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