    What do reviewers say about 1988 and Acqua di Sale?

    Most aquatics smell like body wash. 1988 rewrites the rulebook, salt without the stereotype, calm that actually means something. This is the ocean without the postcard.1988
    The myrtle is the whole point. It makes Acqua di Sale taste like a real coastline rather than a pool. This is your authentic, sun-warmed escape to the Mediterranean coast.Acqua di Sale
