Which Should You Buy?
This Penhaligon's classic receives high praise for its fresh, vibrant character but its fleeting longevity means it's more of a brief, refreshing pick-me-up than a lasting perfume statement. Prepare for a quick, bright burst that fades fast.
This is a real 'love it or hate it' frag, mostly because it's such an authentic lime. But even the biggest fans admit it's got the longevity of a fruit fly, making it a bit of a scandalous waste for the price tag.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its extremely short longevity makes it unsuitable for occasions where a lasting scent is desired, such as dates or formal events. However, its fresh and clean profile is perfect for quick casual wear, working out, or as an office refresher.
Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Its intensely fresh and invigorating citrus profile makes it ideal for sport and casual wear, especially in hot weather. However, its notoriously poor longevity and sillage mean it won't last long enough for a date or formal event, and its 'cleaning fluid' vibe might be unwelcome in an office setting.
