Which Should You Buy?
A brisk, modern aquatic with sparkling citrus and salty blue accents. Explorer Ultra Blue is perfect for daily wear when you want to feel crisp, clean and effortlessly confident.
Noire Extra II chases Paco Rabanne's Black XS L'Excess for Him - that fresh Amalfi lemon and lavender over sea notes, cypriol and amber-patchouli. The crisp, clubby-fresh mood comes through, but it renders flatter with softer projection, sketching the discontinued original rather than fully matching it.
