Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some rave about its unique sparkle and surprising longevity for a freshie, while others find it too linear or fleeting. It's a proper gentle charmer that smells expensive, but you might need to hunt it down now it's been discontinued.
This budget-friendly Acqua di Gio clone is a divisive one. Fans adore its uncanny resemblance and sheer value, but others find the opening too harsh and synthetic. For some, it's a perfect everyday freshie; for others, it's a metallic lemon headache.
