In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

EEA by Jupilò brings a bracing blast of salty sea air to your skin, evoking the wild coastline of Ponza. A sharp opening of wild mint and lemon quickly shifts into a dry, mineral profile anchored by rosemary and salt. It is an aromatic escape built for hot summer days, steering clear of typical sugary aquatic tropes.

Reviews →

Lacoste by Jean Patou opens with a sharp burst of lavender and rosemary, bringing a clean, barber-shop freshness from 1967. As the herbal edge softens, cedar and geranium ground the middle before settling into a mossy, musky base. It is a dry, masculine scent suited for warm spring mornings and casual linen shirts.
