Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ginza EDP

Shiseido Ginza is a divisive floral-fruity, with some finding it a chic crowd-pleaser and others dismissing it as a generic shampoo scent. If you're after a youthful, clean, everyday wear, give it a go.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Elle EDP

A spicy floral-woody dupe of YSL Elle. The pink pepper-jasmine heart is faithful; the vetiver-patchouli base has less depth and lasting power than the original.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Sport

Its clean, fresh, and moderate projection makes it ideal for office and casual wear without being overwhelming. While some find it elegant enough for dates, its 'shampoo-y' quality lessens its suitability for formal settings.
