Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Citrus Marine EDP
If you're after a budget-friendly dupe for a classic, this might just hit the mark, though opinions are sharply divided. Some smell a fresh, citrusy marine dream, others are getting an odd savoury note that sends them running for the hills. Proceed with caution and certainly try before you buy.

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.
