L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2014 Eau de Toilette vs Sirène Privée Eau de Toilette
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive summer scent, echoing the original L'Eau d'Issey with a twist. Some find it a 'nose-gasm' of aquatic freshness, while others dismiss it as watered down, synthetic, or a rehash of previous flankers. Mostly, it's a pleasant if unexciting summer grab.
Sirène Privée is a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance that captures attention but polarises opinion. It charms with its sweet, spicy cherry opening, yet often sours in the dry down, leaving many sighing in disappointment.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, aquatic, and fruity profile makes it perfect for casual wear and sports. The moderate projection and longevity mean it's unlikely to offend in an office setting, but it's too light and playful for formal occasions or a seductive date night.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
The performance varies; moderate sillage and decent longevity make it a pleasant choice for casual settings or dates, while stronger notes might be too much for formal occasions or the office.
