Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Eau EDT
This one's a fresh, modern rose that sidesteps the stuffiness of its older siblings. Expect a bright, citrusy opening that settles into a clean, sophisticated floral, but don't expect it to last for eons; its performance divides opinion.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 098 L'Eau de Chloe EDP
A lighter, more casual take on Chloe's rose-and-citrus L'Eau flanker, capturing its fresh chypre spirit without the full aldehydic sparkle of the original.
