Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Porthole EDP
This is a love-it-or-hate-it tropical powerhouse. While many adore its juicy, salty fruitiness, some find it veers into 'body odour' territory. Definitely sample before committing.

Our Verdict - Tropical Thunder EDP
A budget take on Lorenzo Pazzaglia's hyped Summer Hammer - the same photorealistic mango pina colada of pineapple, coconut and white rum over creamy woods. Tropical Thunder lands that boozy tropical fun, but it reads a touch more synthetic and weaker, missing the original extrait's beastly projection and longevity.

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Tropical Thunder

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A juicy boozy-tropical scent built for heat - it peaks in spring and summer and feels out of place in winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Fun and casual, it suits beach days, sport and easy dates rather than formal or office settings.
