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.

Our Verdict - Deep Blue EDP
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.
