Which Should You Buy?
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.
Archives 69 is ELdO at its most divisive: a bizarre ride through medicinal camphor and peppery spice that some find utterly compelling, others utterly repulsive. Definitely not a blind buy, but endlessly fascinating.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean and fruity profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear, including beach days and the gym. While some wear it to the office, its moderate projection keeps it from being an overwhelming choice for formal events.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and unique character make it intriguing for casual wear or a date, allowing its unusual facets to be appreciated without overwhelming. The strong, at times medicinal, opening and its avant-garde profile might be too distracting for a formal event or the office, while its warm spicy and camphor notes are unsuitable for sport.
