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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Invictus Aqua EDT
Divisive yet undeniably popular, the 2016 Invictus Aqua is either the summer king or an overpriced, synthetic mess. Its legendary status is cemented by its fierce fan base and inflated prices, with many chasing that elusive original batch.
