Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wall Street EDP
Wall Street is a divisive aquatic-forward scent that smells of fresh cucumber, sea salt, and citrus. Its unique blend is either a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many finding the drydown to be unpleasantly 'fishy' or 'wet dog' on skin, but a fresh, crisp, money-like scent on clothes. Don't blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Aqua Essence Elixir for Men EDP
Tracks Armani's Acqua di Gio Elixir - zesty bergamot and green mandarin over an aquatic violet-leaf heart with a leathery-woody base. Perfume Parlour keeps the smooth, crowd-pleasing freshie idea but lands a little flatter and shorter-lived than the original.
