Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hamptons EDP
A divisive crowd-pleaser that splits opinion between being a beautiful, fresh unisex scent and a generic, overpriced clone. You'll likely either love it for its uplifting, coastal vibe or dismiss it as a 'meh' aquatic.

Our Verdict - Aqua Vitae Forte EDC
MFK's Aqua Vitae Cologne Forte is a proper crowd-splitter. For some, it's a 'sunshine in a bottle' summer dream, for others, an overpriced cleaning product. Test on skin - it makes all the difference.
