Out of those I thought Arrow was the worst, Leroux and DeKuyper not much better (almost no orange flavor at all) and Bols was so-so but the least phony tasting. But compared to all of those the Senior Curacao is lighter, and not corn syrupy tasting. When you do the sniff test, the Senior doesn't smell as "gasoliney" and you get a subtle hint of orange peel. I'm going to have a hard time going back to the Bols--even though it is a third the price.
