Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wave Eau de Parfum

Missoni Wave is a legendary summer cheapie, lauded for smelling like high-end alternatives at a fraction of the cost. Beloved, versatile, and well-performing for a freshie, it's a 'no-brainer' blind buy. Grab it before it’s gone.

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.

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

Often cited as a 'gym safe' and 'daily driver', its fresh and aromatic character, combined with moderate projection, makes it ideal for casual and office wear. While some reviewers report great longevity, the general consensus on its performance means it's less suited for formal events where a more impactful scent is often 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.
