Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Secret d'Essences Neroli
This one's a divisive gem. You've got the bitter citrus and green notes that some swoon over, comparing it to ridiculously expensive neroli offerings, while others find it too sharp or even reminiscent of old men's cologne. Not a safe blind buy, but a serious contender if you love clean, natural neroli.

Our Verdict - Berber Blonde
This one's a proper divisive darling - some reckon it's a photorealistic orange grove in a bottle, others are convinced it's a glorified cleaning product. If you're after that true neroli and orange blossom hit, prepare for a potent, vibrant ride, though be warned it might lean a bit soapy.
