Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

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

Its fresh, clean and fruity profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear, including beach days and the gym. While some wear it to the office, its moderate projection keeps it from being an overwhelming choice for formal events.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its strong projection and rich, resinous character make it less suitable for the office and sports. However, its sophisticated warmth and sensual depth are perfect for dates and evening formal events, while still versatile enough for a confident casual wear.
