The take

What works

  • ●Candied mandarin and caramel over ambroxan: sweet, bright, loud
  • ●Big-bottle value with performance that punches up
  • ●Youthful, mass-appealing profile that plays well on nights out

Trade-offs

  • ●Too sugary for real heat; save it for cooler evenings
  • ●The orange reads more candy than fruit
