Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A Scent by Issey Miyake EDT
This green, fresh powerhouse is a divisive blast of invigorating nature. Opinion is split between a clean, zen-like experience and an overpowering, soapy assault. Not for the faint-hearted or those who dislike strong green notes.
Statement
Our Verdict - No.086 Escale a Portofino EDP
No.086 is Eden Perfumes' interpretation of Dior's Escale à Portofino, an intense citrus opening of bergamot and lemon that dries down to cedar and cypress. It is more one-dimensional than the layered Dior original but keeps the same sun-soaked Mediterranean freshness.

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its potent projection and impressive longevity, frequently mentioned in reviews, might be a bit much for a formal setting or close office quarters. However, its refreshing green and citrus profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, and even post-sport to feel revitalised.
