Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqva Pour Homme Marine Toniq EDT
This marine scent divides opinion like no other. Some rave about its fresh, salty sweetness and unique character, while others recoil from what they perceive as a pungent, fishy aroma. Best sampled before committing, but if it hits right, it's a summer cult classic.
Statement
Our Verdict - 197 Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine EDP
197 BA leans on Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine's grapefruit-neroli-cedar marine accord, but the dupe's base is very light and the scent all but disappears within a couple of hours.
