Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Desire Blue EDT

Desire Blue is a curiously divisive blue frag, with some loving its fresh, fruity sweetness and claiming it's unique, whilst others find it unbearably synthetic, cloying, and an all-round scrubber. A 'love-it-or-hate-it' without much middle ground, but often found cheap, so you can test the waters yourself.

Our Verdict - CR7 Play It Cool EDT

If you're after a budget-friendly, citrus-aquatic freshie that pulls compliments, CR7 Play It Cool delivers - just be ready for a short shelf-life. Longevity is the main gripe, but it's a solid casual reach for the price.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date

Its fresh, aquatic, and fruity profile makes it suitable for casual wear and sports, especially in warm weather. While some find it office-appropriate due to its non-offensive nature in lighter doses, its sweetness and potential for synthetic harshness make it less ideal for formal settings.

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

This scent is perfect for casual and sport settings due to its fresh, clean, and energising profile. Its moderate projection and limited longevity make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering, but not ideal for formal events or longer dates where more presence is desired.
