Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ginza EDP
Shiseido Ginza is a divisive floral-fruity, with some finding it a chic crowd-pleaser and others dismissing it as a generic shampoo scent. If you're after a youthful, clean, everyday wear, give it a go.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.097 Elle EDP
Eden's No.097 follows YSL's Elle into patchouli-forward floral territory - litchi, peony and rose over a woody patchouli base - though the patchouli reads thinner and the sillage tapers much faster than the designer original.

Ginza

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

Its clean, fresh, and moderate projection makes it ideal for office and casual wear without being overwhelming. While some find it elegant enough for dates, its 'shampoo-y' quality lessens its suitability for formal settings.

Also Works:
Summer

The fruity-floral patchouli blend suits Spring freshness and Fall's warmer, earthier mood equally well.

Occasions
