Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Wood Eau de Parfum
Divisive, perplexing, and often compared to discontinued cult classics, Aqua Wood eventually wins many over. It's an unusual beast with an identity crisis, but it nails the 'expensive sunscreen' vibe for summer. Just don't expect actual woods or aquatics.

Our Verdict - BLV Notte Eau de Parfum
This discontinued gem divides opinion sharply from 'masterpiece' to 'baby powder and baby wipes'. Many mourn its loss and praise its daring originality, while others find its unique blend, particularly the vodka and chocolate, to be off-putting or lacking in projection.

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate projection and unique character make it suitable for dates and formal evening wear, lending an air of sophistication without shouting. While some find it versatile enough for the office with light application, its boozy and dark notes might be too distinctive for a conservative environment, and its warmth limits its use in sport.
