Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 40 Knots EDP
Divisive and totally unexpected, 40 Knots is a chameleon that baffles with its true identity. Don't expect a fresh aquatic; brace yourself for a woody, salty, powdery journey that many find utterly captivating, and just as many find utterly confusing.
Acquired

If your dream escape involves a tranquil, watery haven away from the summer crowds, Waterfall Escape has your back. It's a fresh, calm summer fling that won't overwhelm, perfect for your personal quiet moments.
