Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Excellus Men

This one's a mixed bag. Some absolutely love its fresh, creamy dry down and call it a classy alternative, while others are thoroughly unimpressed by the performance and quality control. If you get a good bottle, it's a solid scent for the price.

Our Verdict - Aqua Memorabilis

This Jovoy release is sending out mixed signals, making it a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some reckon it's a stellar, grown-up citrus for summer, while others are left scratching their heads, calling it generic or even a bit nasty. Definitely one to try before you buy, if you want to avoid a shocker.

Spring Autumn

Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Sport

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, especially given its moderate projection. While some find it 'classy for days', others experience very weak performance, which can limit its versatility for formal events or dates where projection is key.

Aqua Memorabilis

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its versatile citrus and woody profile makes it suitable for most casual and office settings, as many reviews suggest an 'all-rounder' quality. The polarizing nature with some finding it 'generic' or 'designer cheap' means it might not hit the mark for formal occasions or intimate dates where something more unique might be preferred.
