Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Acqua di Gio

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.

Our Verdict - Cyan Blue

Cyan Blue chases Armani Acqua di Gio Blue Edition, that breezy, maritime twist on the aquatic classic with its signature persimmon. It captures the sea-spray freshness and fruity-floral heart, but renders flatter and skin-close - already a discreet original, here it stays light and budget-friendly.
