Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqva Marine EDP
A divisive yet beloved aquatic that transports you straight to a Mediterranean coastline. It's a genuine ocean-in-a-bottle scent, loved by many for its unique take on marine notes, but be warned: if you're not a fan of seaweed, this isn't for you.

Our Verdict - Strong Water EDP
A budget take on Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua - the buoyant yuzu-grapefruit opening over a watery, woody-musk base. Strong Water captures the lighter, summery Invictus character but renders it flatter and skin-close, trading the original's polish for a quicker fade.
