Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hot Water EDT

Hot Water is a divisive cheapie: some love its warm spice and confident masculinity, others find it a bland, synthetic mess with woeful performance. Approach with caution, but if it clicks, it's a budget winner.

Statement

Our Verdict - Heated Liquid For Men EDP

Heated Liquid interprets Issey Miyake's Hot Water - that aromatic-spicy heat of wormwood and basil over paprika, patchouli and warm balsams. The dupe captures the fiery, resinous character but renders it flatter and shorter-lived than the original.

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its warm, spicy character and moderate sillage, when it performs, make it suitable for casual wear and dates, as many users attested to receiving compliments. However, its often-criticised weak longevity requires frequent reapplication, which isn't ideal for formal or office settings.
