Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cool Water
The quintessential aquatic-fresh masculine, Cool Water's mint-lavender-sea water blast is still an unbeatable icon for daily wear. Effortless, breezy, and endlessly clean, it remains a go-to for summer and sport.

Our Verdict - Oblique Fast Forward
A lost gem from the 00s, Oblique Fast Forward has a cult following of devotees literally begging for its return. Its clean, subtle freshness feels distinctly modern, proving that sometimes, they really don't make them like they used to. A true 'if you know, you know' scent.
