Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wavechild EDP
Wavechild is a polarising beast. Some rave about its unique juicy watermelon and beachy vibes, calling it a masterpiece. Others dismiss it as a synthetic, juvenile mess that smells like cheap body spray. Sample first, definitely, because you'll either adore it or utterly detest it.

Our Verdict - Riviera Maya EDT
This is a love-it-or-hate-it tropical scent that splits opinion. Some find it a fresh, high-quality holiday in a bottle, while others are put off by a cloying, synthetic sweetness and overwhelming saltiness. Definitely sample before buying.
