Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Barakkat Aqua Stellar EDP
This one's a proper mixed bag. While some rave about its refreshing, sparkling qualities, others are less impressed with the initial 'urine-like' opening and questionable longevity. If you're after a super affordable, casual freshie, it might be worth a punt, but don't expect miracles.

Our Verdict - Sakura EDP
A truly gorgeous, delicate cherry blossom floral, it's just a shame it lasts about as long as the blossom itself. Fleeting beauty for those who appreciate the ephemeral.

Season and Occasion Fit

Barakkat Aqua Stellar

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and often fleeting performance makes it ideal for casual wear and sports. While it's light enough for the office, its lack of strong projection might make it less impactful for a date or formal event.

Sakura

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its soft sillage and poor longevity make it ideal for casual wear where close proximity is more common, and completely inoffensive for the office. It's too subdued for formal events but perfect for a quick, fresh pick-me-up during sports or everyday errands.
