Which Should You Buy?
A crisp aquatic-woody that balances salty marine breeze with vibrant citrus and smooth woods. Effortless, modern, and perfect for daily wear, it’s understated but quietly confident.
A refreshing aquatic that’s perfect for summer. While some find it a bit too 'blue' and linear, others rave about its authentic sea spray vibe and surprising depth. Definitely one for those who want to smell like a clean, vibrant coastal breeze.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The crisp citrus and marine notes make this best for spring and summer, offering a breezy, refreshing effect that complements warmer weather. The light woody base allows for some versatility into fall, but lacks the heft for winter.
Occasions
Low projection and fresh, clean character make this perfect for office and casual wear, and it will not overwhelm in close quarters. It is also sporty and energetic, but is too understated for formal occasions.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, aquatic profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in hot weather, and perfectly suited for sport. While generally light, some perceive it as quite masculine and with enough body for a relaxed date, but it's too casual for formal events.
