Which Should You Buy?
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.
A faithful nod to Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio, Power Super captures that legendary citrus-aquatic freshness on a budget. The bright bergamot-and-lime opening reads true, but the marine accord lands flatter and the musky woods fade faster than the original - a clean daily freshie rather than the icon itself.
