Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Quasar Classic Eau de Parfum
A Brazilian classic that's been watered down over the years. Once a signature scent for many, it now sits as a lighter, more common take on Cool Water, divisive in its performance and uniqueness. Great for a casual spritz, but don't expect fireworks.

Our Verdict - Surf Eau de Parfum
Surf is a bit of a controversial one, with folks divided on its similarity to Invictus and its overall performance. Some find it a decent, affordable option for everyday wear, while others dismiss it as a weaker clone with disappointing longevity.
