Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Wood Eau de Parfum
Divisive, perplexing, and often compared to discontinued cult classics, Aqua Wood eventually wins many over. It's an unusual beast with an identity crisis, but it nails the 'expensive sunscreen' vibe for summer. Just don't expect actual woods or aquatics.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Petra Eau de Parfum
Petra is a grown-up amber-fruity treat, doing the Coco Mademoiselle thing but with far more depth and a luxurious, playful edge. It's a polarizing beast for some, but generally lauded as a sophisticated compliment-getter.
