Which Should You Buy?
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.
Deep Blue dupes Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Aqua Celestia, chasing the same lime-mint-musk freshness. It is punchier and more one-note upfront than the original's refined sparkle, with a simpler, shorter-lived musky finish, but a fair budget route into that crisp, poolside-mojito style.
