This blue fragrance is a proper bargain: a solid, versatile performer that consistently earns compliments. While some compare it to Dylan Blue or even BDC, Acqua Essenziale Blu certainly carves out its own niche in the 'blue' genre, offering a smoother, more rounded, and noticeably powdery take that stands apart. It's a crowd-pleaser for sure, especially considering the price.

Floris Vetiver is a proper grown-up scent; it's a classy, understated British take on vetiver that's surprisingly sexy and complex. Not a raw, dirty vetiver, but a smooth operator with a timeless appeal, though some find its spicy start a bit much.
