Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Porthole EDP
This is a love-it-or-hate-it tropical powerhouse. While many adore its juicy, salty fruitiness, some find it veers into 'body odour' territory. Definitely sample before committing.
Statement
Our Verdict - Loophole EDP
Loophole is Alexandria UK's take on Loumari's niche hit Porthole, trading the original's layered pineapple-caramel warmth for a louder, flatter fruity-salty splash that fades faster but nails the beach-holiday opening for a fraction of the price.
