Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Universalis Forte EDP
This one is a divisive clean scent, with some raving about its fresh, invigorating qualities while others find it too sharp, too floral, or unpleasantly reminiscent of cleaning products. It's an "M-F-K-style" clean that will either earn you compliments or comparisons to toilet cleaner.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Across The Universe EDP
A squeaky clean, fresh scent with a big problem: some batches seem virtually scentless or vanish almost immediately. If you get a good bottle, it's a pleasant citrus floral. If you don't, it's glorified water.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aqua Universalis Forte

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 clean, fresh character and often strong performance make it suitable for office wear if applied lightly, and excellent for casual and sport settings. While some find it elegant enough for formal events, its 'laundry' vibe might not suit everyone for these occasions. Its divisive nature makes it a riskier choice for dates.
