Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nectar d'Issey Première Fleur EDP
This Issey Miyake flanker is a divisive one. You'll either love its fresh, fruity florals or find it a synthetic, overwhelming mess. Best sniffed before you splurge, but for those who get it, it's a delightful everyday floral.

Our Verdict - Dolce Floral Drops EDT
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its fresh, clean simplicity, finding it a perfect everyday floral. Others dismiss it as a weak, unoriginal disappointment with poor performance, often compared to glorified fabric softener. You'll either love its gentle charm or sniff and move on.
