Which Should You Buy?
A divisive citrus bomb: love it or hate it, Eau d'Hadrien is renowned for its hyper-realistic lemon. It's gloriously fresh and effortlessly chic, if you don't mind an ephemeral whisper of a scent. Expect a battle over its 'old-fashioned' character.
This one sparks strong opinions: some hail it as the ultimate citrus, a juicy, spicy delight, while others find the lemon too sweet, artificial, or simply underwhelming. If you're after a photorealistic Sorrento lemon, you might be disappointed - but if you're open to a modern, woody take on citrus, give it a go.

Occasions
Given its strong citrus, fresh accords, and tendency to be a 'crowd-pleaser' for some, it's a solid casual and sport option. Performance is cited as good to strong, which might make it a bit much for a formal setting or an office with strict scent sensitivity, though the woody drydown offers some versatility for dates.
