Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - VIP Eau de Toilette
A surprisingly fun, edible blend of rum, fruit, and creamy chocolate that punches above its price. VIP Eau de Toilette is the life of the party, with flirty sweetness and a touch of suave swagger.
Statement
Our Verdict - Malibu - Party in the Bay Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously divisive summery cocktail in a bottle. Folks either get a vibrant, long-lasting lime and coconut dream, or a screechy lemon cleaner that quickly disappears. Sample first, or you might end up with buyer's remorse.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
