Ginza Eau de Parfum vs No.097 Elle Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The fruity-floral patchouli blend suits Spring freshness and Fall's warmer, earthier mood equally well.
Occasions
A soft, sophisticated fruity-chypre suits casual wear and daytime dates more than formal or office settings.
