Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Liam Blue Shine Eau de Parfum

This blue fragrance is a bit of a mixed bag; while the scent itself is widely praised as an excellent dupe for ADG Profondo, its staying power is undeniably divisive. Prepare to overspray and be patient, as it truly improves with 'maceration'.

Our Verdict - Artik Sea Extrait

This marine beast is intensely divisive. While some find its icy, salty realism invigorating and artistic, others recoil from its overwhelming, almost 'biohazard' level of marine intensity. Go for this if you want to stand out, but be warned, it's not for the faint-hearted.

Season and Occasion Fit

Liam Blue Shine Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, mass-appealing aquatic profile makes it highly suitable for casual and sport wear, often mentioned as an 'easy reach'. The lighter projection and short longevity, particularly before maceration, mean it’s office-safe but less ideal for dates or formal events where stronger presence is desired.

Artik Sea Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Given its 'nuclear' performance and strong, distinctive marine and salty accords, Artik Sea is far too assertive for the office. It's best suited for casual, outdoor settings or sport where its intense projection can be appreciated without overwhelming others. Some might find it suitable for a bold date night, though it's not universally appealing.
