Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mandarino di Sicilia

This perfume is a triumph for citrus lovers, delivering a hyper-realistic mandarin that feels plucked straight from the tree. Whilst performance is average, Mandarino di Sicilia is a sophisticated, naturally-blended citrus that stands out from the crowd.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pure Poison

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Sparkling citrus and radiant white florals make Pure Poison ideal for spring and early fall, with enough warmth from musk and sandalwood to carry it into cooler months. Its freshness and lightness suit mild weather best, while the creamy floral heart avoids becoming cloying in heat.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Elegant, clean projection and a luminous yet non-overpowering trail make this a versatile choice for office, daytime, and especially romantic occasions. Its sophistication and freshness can fit for formal wear, though the sensuality of its musky floral heart shines best for dates.
