Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Costa Azzurra Acqua EDP
A gorgeous, fresh aquatic that people simply adore, despite its fleeting nature. This Mediterranean escape delivers a clean, green, and piney aroma that transports you to a seaside holiday, if only for a short while. Shame it's discontinued, as the clamour for dupes is real.

Our Verdict - Sensing Blue Water EDP
Perfume Parlour's budget take on Tom Ford Costa Azzurra Acqua, that breezy Mediterranean fresh-woody. It captures the lemon-juniper-myrtle opening and resinous pine-cypress heart, just rendered flatter and with the original's already-moderate longevity trimmed.

Season and Occasion Fit

Costa Azzurra Acqua

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and understated nature makes it ideal for casual wear and the office, as its weak projection won't offend. However, its poor longevity and projection make it less suitable for formal events or dates where you desire a stronger presence. It's too light for formal, but can be worn to the gym.

Sensing Blue Water

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Built around fresh citrus, juniper and green resinous woods, it shines in spring and summer warmth where its breezy coastal character is most at home.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Light, clean and unisex, it slots into casual, office and active daily wear, with enough ease for a relaxed daytime date.
