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.

Our Verdict - Dagian
Dagian is a proper divisive ol' scent, isn't it? Half the room reckons it's a seaside dream, all fresh and uplifting. The other half can't get past some weird aquatic note turning a bit 'ick'. If you like a bit of risk and white florals, you might just be in the winning camp.

Dagian

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear and the office, particularly if applied lightly. However, the varying reports on performance suggest it might not hold up for formal events or longer dates where strong projection is desired. It's a great 'pick-me-up' for daily errands.
