Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Quercus Eau de Cologne

A sparkling rush of citrus and green, Quercus is the ultimate crisp-shirt cologne: refined, discreet, and effortlessly uplifting. The longevity is modest, but the clarity and British charm are unmatched.

Our Verdict - Sal Y Limon Eau de Parfum

A brilliant, juicy summer zinger that nails the 'salty lemon' brief without smelling like a cleaning product - as long as you can get past the initial citrus flurry. Some reckon the performance isn't up to scratch, but most find it surprisingly good for a freshie.
