Which Should You Buy?
A truly unique and utterly divisive woody-spicy creation that will have some people raving about its primal, untamed character, while others scrunch their nose at its 'sweaty' or 'old school' vibe. Love it or hate it, you won't forget it.
This is Divain's take on Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, a woody-aquatic fragrance built around a watery, mineral freshness. The citrus-lotus-vetiver arc lands close, but the dupe's aquatic facet is warmer and less mineral than the original's crisp, almost metallic water accord.
