Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Buongiorno Eau de Parfum
This minty-fresh burst of Italian sunshine is a crowd-pleaser, but don't expect it to last all day. It's universally adored for its invigorating opening, though some find it a bit too fleeting for the price. If you want to smell like a delicious, refined mojito, this one's for you.

Our Verdict - Aqua Media Forte Cologne
MFK Aqua Media is a divisive beast, with half the folks hailing it as a summer masterpiece and the other half convinced they've been doused in coriander or dish soap. It's green, it's fresh, and it absolutely demands skin testing before you commit.
