Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem is proper divisive. Folk either love its unique salty aquatic vibe and beastly performance for summer, or they absolutely hate it, calling it synthetic, eggy, or even like 'rotting fruit in a puddle'.
No.235 shadows Bvlgari's Aqva Pour Homme with a citrus-petitgrain opening over a mineral seaweed-lavender heart and an amber-patchouli base, delivering the same Mediterranean freshness with a slightly softer aquatic accord than the designer original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique, sometimes polarising, aroma make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its 'beast mode' performance and strong aquatic-citrus notes are perfect for high heat, making it an ideal casual and sport scent, especially around water, where it really shines.
