Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Rochas Homme
A sparkling citrus legend that's somehow both classic and ageless, Eau de Rochas Homme is a proper crowd-pleaser. Just be prepared to re-spray your way to sunshine; performance isn't its strong suit.

Our Verdict - Aqua Sextius
A truly divisive aquatic, Aqua Sextius swings from groundbreaking genius to a 'creamy fresh lotion' that's overpriced and unmemorable. It's a freshie that manages to feel both unique and generic all at once, depending on who you ask.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:

Occasions

Best For:
