Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Limes EDT
Floris Limes is a truly classic scent, a light, refreshing citrus that has stood the test of time since 1832. It's a simple, elegant splash for the pure citrus lover, though be warned: it's not known for its staying power.

Our Verdict - L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Oceanic Expedition EDP
This flanker offers a compelling-yet-divisive alternative to the original L'Eau d'Issey. Prepare for an invigorating grapefruit and ginger blast backed by marine freshness. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but many reckon it's even better than the OG despite the mixed reviews.

Season and Occasion Fit

Limes

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its poor longevity and subtle sillage make it ideal for office wear and casual outings where subtlety is key. It's not assertive enough for a date or formal event, but its refreshing nature is quite suitable for post-sport use.
