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 - Connect Her EDT
FCUK's 2005 follow-up, in a chrome flip-top case with a red slider. A clean floral woody musk built on lotus and lily-of-the-valley - lighter and more transparent than FCUK Her, and even less demanding.

Season and Occasion Fit

L'Eau d'Issey

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The light, aquatic floral structure makes it ideal for spring and summer, evoking freshness and watery blossoms. Its clean transparency is less suited for cold winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

With gentle projection and clean freshness, it's perfect for office, everyday wear, and understated occasions. Its aquatic, non-intrusive nature works for active and casual settings.

Connect Her

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A watery lotus and muguet opening over a clean musk base is a warm-weather structure. It has too little weight in the drydown to hold up in cold months.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Very soft projection and a clean, inoffensive profile make it near-ideal for shared workspaces and casual daily wear, and correspondingly weak for occasions needing presence.
