Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dylan Blue Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper clean girl aesthetic in a bottle, and if you're into smelling like freshly washed hair, you'll rate it. Otherwise, you might find its 'shampoo vibe' either cheap and synthetic or just a bit too boring.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Il Giardino Extrait
A beautifully nuanced green scent that stands out from the crowd without being difficult. It's a crowd-pleasing, versatile all-rounder, though some might find a resemblance to Byredo Black Saffron.

Also Works:
Date

Its clean, fresh, and often-described 'shampoo-like' quality makes it ideal for casual wear and office settings, as it is inoffensive and generally well-received.
