Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Arbo Eau de Parfum
Arbo is a divisive but iconic green scent. It's either a fresh, invigorating forest expedition or an overly sweet, artificial mess. Performance-wise, expect average longevity but a respectable sillage that won't overpower a room.

Our Verdict - Waterways Spell Extrait
A divisive take on green freshness. Some find it a watery, boring, overpriced affair that vaguely smells of an old tea shop, whilst others enjoy its unique salty, aquatic and aromatic nuances. You'll need to try it for yourself to see if you get the magic from the waterways, or a musty old handbag.

Its fresh, green, and subtle nature with weak projection means it's suitable for office wear, but less so for occasions where you want to make a bigger statement like dates or formal events.
