Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Celestia EDP
This one's a divisive mojito in a bottle; some find it a gorgeous, uplifting freshie while others are left cold by its price, performance, and 'meh' linearity. Try it on skin before you buy, as opinions vary wildly.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Deep Blue Extrait
A fresh, invigorating burst of citrus and green, this one settles into a surprising floral warmth. It's a freshie that leans slightly feminine to some, but confident wearers will find it a delightful, attention-grabbing choice for warmer days.
