Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - At the Beach Eau de Parfum
This is a divisive one. While many adore its authentic beachy vibe, a good number find the coconut too synthetic or the salt overwhelming. Expect a hit-or-miss experience, but it's generally agreed it's a solid summer-only pick.
Statement
Our Verdict - Vacation Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it. If you're after pure, unadulterated beachy nostalgia - the whole suncream, chlorinated pool, and tropical fruit cocktail shebang, plastic notes included - then you're in for a treat. But if you're not into smelling like a 1980s lido, best steer clear.

Season and Occasion Fit

At the Beach Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Its strong association with beach holidays and suntan lotion makes it perfect for casual settings, especially summery ones. It's too informal for office or formal events but could work for an outdoor, sporty occasion.

Vacation Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

This is a quintessential holiday scent - heavy on the tropical, sweet, and aquatic notes with that notable 'plastic' accord. It performs best in casual, warm-weather settings like the beach or pool, making it entirely unsuitable for formal events and a bit much for the office. Its moderate longevity makes it perfect for a day out.
