Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lucia Eau de Parfum

A solid, affordable take on the J'adore blueprint, Lucia is a clean, fresh floral that occasionally veers into 'air freshener' territory depending on skin chemistry. Those who love it, really love its delicate purity. Underrated for its price, but not one for groundbreaking originality.

Our Verdict - Acqua di Gio Eau de Parfum

A divisive yet iconic 90s classic that either transports you to a blissful summer or leaves you cold. This watery floral, with its unique vodka kick, is a time capsule - love it for its nostalgic charm or dismiss it as dated. Not for everyone, but unforgettable for those who 'get' it.

Date Formal

Its clean, inoffensive floral profile makes it suitable for office wear and casual settings, with moderate longevity and sillage contributing to its versatility. However, some find it "innocent" to the point of lacking sex appeal, making it less ideal for a date night. It's a bit too delicate for sport and not quite bold enough for formal events.
