Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lacura Hotel Collection No.1 Lime, Basil & Mandarin Eau de Parfum

Aldi's Lime, Basil & Mandarin delivers an impressively authentic zesty-fresh impression at a fraction of the designer price. It's bright, breezy and effortless, though fleeting-reapply freely for a constant burst of citrus cheer.

Our Verdict - Grey Vetiver Eau de Toilette

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDT is a fresh, clean take on vetiver that's tragically discontinued. Fans laud its easy-wearing elegance for warm weather, making it a firm office favourite, but some find it too subtle or even a bit bland. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some, with a clear split between those who find it a masterpiece and those who find it lacks punch.
