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.
Outlaw copies the citrus-marine-cedar formula of Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio but with a sharper, cheaper-smelling citrus opening and a shorter, flatter finish than the original's beach-holiday polish.
