Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Olympéa Aqua EDT
This one's a mixed bag, love-it-or-hate-it depending on your skin chemistry. Some say it's a classy, modern aquatic-gourmand, others get a mouldy, masculine disappointment. Don't blind buy, test on skin before you commit.

Our Verdict - Iconic EDP
Iconic by Guess is a surprisingly potent, crowd-pleasing floral-citrus bomb that punches well above its weight. Don't let the name fool you; it might not be truly *iconic*, but it's a solid, versatile performer that will certainly get you noticed.

Season and Occasion Fit

Olympéa Aqua

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its fresh, lighter profile compared to the original Olympea makes it suitable for casual wear and might work for dates, though some found it too strong. While it has good performance, it leans too aquatic and sweet for formal settings and some find it a touch too 'loud' for the office.

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its impressive longevity and strong projection make it less suitable for a confined office setting, as noted by reviewers. However, the fresh citrus and floral notes, coupled with a sensual amber drydown, lend themselves perfectly to casual outings and romantic dates. It can work for less formal evening events due to its noticeable presence.
