Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Vitae Forte EDC
MFK's Aqua Vitae Cologne Forte is a proper crowd-splitter. For some, it's a 'sunshine in a bottle' summer dream, for others, an overpriced cleaning product. Test on skin - it makes all the difference.

Our Verdict - Elegant Poise For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Inner Grace - a citrus fragrance led by Bergamot, Mandarin, with floral depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aqua Vitae 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 fresh and clean profile makes it extremely versatile for casual wear and suitable for the office, as many describe it as inoffensive. While some note good longevity, it generally creates a soft scent bubble rather than strong projection, which makes it less ideal for formal occasions but still fitting for dates.

Elegant Poise For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
