Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Eau d'Issey EDT
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Splendor EDP
Splendor is a surprisingly beautiful and timeless floral, a proper crowd-pleaser that punches way, way above its price point. It's a genuine gem for spring, despite its dated reputation.
