Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bossa
A Brazilian beach holiday in a bottle, Bossa is a divisive one. You'll either love its natural, clean coconut and marine notes or find it too sharp and suncream-adjacent. If you're after a high-quality tropical escape without the Tom Ford price tag, this is your ticket.

Our Verdict - Curacao Bay
This one's a proper chameleon, diving headfirst into the tropical aquatic genre. Some reckon it's a sublime salty-sweet dream, while others find the ambergris and frangipani combination a bit much. A definite love-it-or-hate-it, but undeniably unique.
