Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wave Eau de Toilette
A vibrant, sunny citrus-marine scent that nails the casual, laid-back California vibe. Perfect for daytime and warm weather but too sheer for bold statements or cold nights.

Our Verdict - Buongiorno Eau de Parfum
This minty-fresh burst of Italian sunshine is a crowd-pleaser, but don't expect it to last all day. It's universally adored for its invigorating opening, though some find it a bit too fleeting for the price. If you want to smell like a delicious, refined mojito, this one's for you.

Season and Occasion Fit

Wave Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The crisp citrus and aquatic freshness make this highly suitable for spring and summer, while its light woody base allows some use in early fall. It lacks the warmth and heft for winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Projection and intensity are soft, making it safe for office and casual wear, and its breezy, clean character is ideal for sporty or daytime activities. It can work on dates for a laid-back vibe, but is too light for formal occasions.

Buongiorno Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, green, and citrus accords make it ideal for casual wear, especially in warm weather, with many reviews suggesting it's perfect for a 'pick me up' or summer. The moderate performance, especially its lower longevity and sillage, also suits gym or office environments without being overpowering.
