Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Very Sexy Sea EDP
If you're already a fan of D&G Light Blue or TF Neroli Portofino, you'll probably like this. If not, best avoid it. It's a fresh, uplifting unisex scent, but don't expect it to stick around for ages. A divisive one, but those who love it, really love it.

Our Verdict - Sea Mist EDP
Perfume Parlour's version of Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Sea. The sunny bergamot-and-neroli-blossom over watery cedar that made the original a clean summer favourite is captured, with Sea Mist holding the neroli a touch fuller and longer than the modest designer EDP.

Season and Occasion Fit

Very Sexy Sea

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh and clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, office environments, and sport, though its poor longevity means reapplications are needed for a full day. It's too light and fleeting for formal events or a romantic date where a more impactful scent is usually preferred.

Sea Mist

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The sunny neroli, bergamot and watery-cedar profile is a clean warm-weather scent for spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

A fresh, elegant floral ideal for casual daily wear and the office, with the polish for easy dates.
