Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blu Mare
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Blu Mare is a beast - a marine-woody powerhouse that some find exhilaratingly fresh and unique, while others are utterly repulsed by its sheer force and challenging notes. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ultima
This marine-citrus freshie is a certified crowd-pleaser that punches above its weight. Some reckon it's a clone, but it stands on its own as a versatile, compliment-getting beast.

Season and Occasion Fit

Blu Mare

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its nuclear projection and extreme longevity make it unsuitable for office settings. However, its refreshing marine and spicy notes, despite their intensity, are well-suited for casual and sport usage, especially in warm weather. For dates and formal events, its divisive nature suggests a cautious approach.

Ultima

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, aquatic profile and good longevity make it suitable for casual wear and gym sessions, while still being presentable for an office setting if applied lightly. It's also sexy enough for a date night, though perhaps not formal events given its energetic character.
