Which Should You Buy?
A benchmark aquatic floral that's as clear and delicate as a mountain spring, L'Eau d'Issey is the archetype of effortless daily elegance. Both uplifting and quietly sophisticated.
A clean aquatic-floral dupe of Issey Miyake's L'eau D'Issey. The watery lotus-cyclamen opening is faithful; the exotic wood-musk base is thinner than the original's iconic drydown.
