Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kobe EDP
Kobe is a divisive juice. For some, it's a stellar, long-lasting neroli bomb that elevates the citrus game to new heights. For others, it's a bitter, urinal-cake-esque mess. Definitely one to sample before committing, as your nose might pick up something very different.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Infusion Mandarine EDP
This is a photorealistic mandarin, rind and all, on Prada's signature powdery base. It's universally praised for its bright, natural citrus opening, but its fleeting performance is a huge sticking point for most despite its undeniable charm.

Season and Occasion Fit

Kobe

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

With strong projection and decent longevity reported by many, it can be a bit much for intimate office settings. Its fresh, clean, yet sophisticated profile makes it versatile for casual outings and dates, while the underlying richness supports formal wear. However, it's generally too refined for sport.

Infusion Mandarine

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile makes it perfect for casual wear or the office, as it's unlikely to offend. The poor longevity and projection mean it's not ideal for dates or formal events where you want more presence, but it's great for refreshing pick-me-ups after sport.
