Season and Occasion Fit

Explorer Ultra Blue

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The vibrant citrus, aquatic and ozonic notes make this fragrance ideal for warm weather, particularly spring and summer, while it lacks the warmth and density required for colder winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean and non-intrusive character is perfect for daytime, office and casual use, while moderate projection and versatility also work for sporty occasions. Less suited to formal evening wear.

Water Ocean

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, amber 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.
