Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme L'Ete EDT
This summer flanker is a divisive beast: some say it's urine in a bottle, others call it the smell of pure summer joy. Prepare for a full-on synthetic hit that somehow just works. You either love its refreshing, aquatic charm or you absolutely can't stand it.

Our Verdict - Armani Code Sport EDT
This one's a sharp, refreshing, citrusy mint bomb that people absolutely adore, but with a surprising number finding it too synthetic or bitter. It's a divisive scent, though mostly in a 'love it or hate it, not much in between' kind of way, yet many mourn its discontinuation.

L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme L'Ete

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Given its strong opening and excellent longevity, this scent is ideal for casual wear and sports, as it holds up brilliantly in heat. It's too green and assertive for formal occasions, but its fresh, clean nature makes it acceptable for an office setting in moderation.

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, energetic, and projecting nature makes it excellent for casual wear, especially in hot weather or during sport. While too loud for most formal settings, it can work for a lively date night if applied sparingly; the sharp citrus and mint might be too much for an office setting.
