Which Should You Buy?
Cruz del Sur II is a tropical riot, divisive as hell but utterly captivating for those who get it. It's either a creamy, dreamy mango milkshake or a sour-milky nightmare on skin. Sample it first, because this one's a proper gamble.
Island Kiss is pure bottled sunshine, a vibrant throwback to carefree summers. It's a sweet, fruity cocktail that's sparked adoration and nostalgia for years, despite a few finding it a bit too much or too similar to other summer limited editions.

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
