What do reviewers say about Need-U and Aqva Pour Homme Marine?
Clean enough to wear everywhere, interesting enough that it isn't forgettable. The sillage stays close and intimate, you won't fill a room with it, but you'll notice it on yourself throughout the day.Need-U
The seaweed is the whole point. Some people encounter it and find the whole fragrance too much. Those people are missing the point. Marine fragrances that skip the ocean smell like bathroom cleaner.Aqva Pour Homme Marine
