Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Acqua Essenziale Blu Eau de Parfum

This blue fragrance is a proper bargain: a solid, versatile performer that consistently earns compliments. While some compare it to Dylan Blue or even BDC, Acqua Essenziale Blu certainly carves out its own niche in the 'blue' genre, offering a smoother, more rounded, and noticeably powdery take that stands apart. It's a crowd-pleaser for sure, especially considering the price.

Our Verdict - Miss-U Eau de Parfum

Miss-U is a divisive fragrance that aims for intimate warmth but sometimes misses the mark. It's either a comforting hug or a sickly sweet patchouli bomb, so definitely one to try before you buy.
