Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Imperial Gold
If a fresh, citrusy blast is what you're after without breaking the bank, Imperial Gold delivers. It's a crowd-pleasing, dependable clone that might lack a bit of evolution, but it certainly gets the job done for the price.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Air of Aquarius
This one's a fresh, uplifting blast of citrus and clean florals, a proper spring awakening. It's a bit of a mixed bag on performance and drydown, with some finding it fades too fast or gets a bit laundry-like, but for sheer invigorating brightness, it’s a winner for many.
