Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Botanical Essence No. 15 EDP
Botanical Essence No. 15 delivers a refreshing yet robust scent, making it ideal for both office settings and casual outings.
Favourite
Our Verdict - L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme EDP
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.
