Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqva Eau de Toilette
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 - Néroli Outrenoir Eau de Parfum
Divisive yet adored, Néroli Outrenoir is a fascinating journey. It's a smoky, earthy black tea with a bright citrus kick, often likened to luxury hotel lobbies, though some find it too sweet or simply too subtle for the price.
