Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqva EDT
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'.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Jour EDP
This one's a head-scratcher. Marketed as a fresh aquatic, the community reviews are brutal, questioning its very existence. It might be cheap, but even at that price, many feel utterly ripped off. Avoid at all costs, unless you're a glutton for punishment.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aqva

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

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.

Jour

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Also Works:
Office Sport

The aquatic and citrus accords suggest a casual, warm-weather appeal, suitable for sport or very informal settings. However, given the overwhelmingly negative community reviews, its suitability for any occasion is highly questionable. It definitely won't work for date nights or formal events.
