Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqva Marine
A divisive yet beloved aquatic that transports you straight to a Mediterranean coastline. It's a genuine ocean-in-a-bottle scent, loved by many for its unique take on marine notes, but be warned: if you're not a fan of seaweed, this isn't for you.

Our Verdict - Aquilo
A budget-friendly freshie that's a dead ringer for Bvlgari Aqva, but don't expect it to last. It's a fantastic scent for the price, but be prepared to respray if you want it to stick around. Some find it a bit too ethereal, but fans swear by its straightforward marine charm.
