Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Desire Blue Eau de Parfum

Desire Blue is a curiously divisive blue frag, with some loving its fresh, fruity sweetness and claiming it's unique, whilst others find it unbearably synthetic, cloying, and an all-round scrubber. A 'love-it-or-hate-it' without much middle ground, but often found cheap, so you can test the waters yourself.

Our Verdict - Ocean Noir Eau de Parfum

Ocean Noir is a divisive aquatic that smells absolutely sensational to many, often drawing compliments, but its shockingly poor performance for some means it's a hard pass for others. The consensus is a superb scent, but the longevity is a lottery.

Also Works:

Its fresh, aquatic, and fruity profile makes it suitable for casual wear and sports, especially in warm weather. While some find it office-appropriate due to its non-offensive nature in lighter doses, its sweetness and potential for synthetic harshness make it less ideal for formal settings.

Sport

Its fresh, clean, and mass-appealing aquatic profile makes it highly versatile for casual and office wear. However, varying reports on projection and longevity mean it might not hold up for formal events or intense sport unless oversprayed or reapplied.
