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.
This is a clean, comforting floral-woody scent, with a divisive vanilla note that some love and others can't detect. It's an easy reach for many, but others find it too subtle or even synthetic.
