Which Should You Buy?
A divisive old-school charmer that's truly a tale of two fragrances: the revered original and the often-maligned reformulation. If you snag a vintage bottle, prepare for a sophisticated blend of boozy rose and rich woods; otherwise, brace yourself for potential disappointment.
This isn't just an 'ocean wave', it’s a full-on aquatic assault. Polarising and distinctly avant-garde, it’s probably not for the faint-hearted. Love it or hate it, you won't forget it.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sophisticated, woody-aromatic character makes it highly suitable for formal events and date nights. While wearable in an office setting, its depth and classic style might feel a bit much for casual wear, and it's certainly not built for sport.
Seasons
Occasions
The powerful ozonic and woody accords give it a strong presence, making it a bit too assertive for office wear or formal events. However, its fresh, invigorating nature makes it suitable for casual outings or even post-gym refreshment, if you're bold enough.
