Which Should You Buy?
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.
Wings is a proper 90s floral bomb, divisive yet undeniably iconic. Its loud, opulent white florals are a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who embrace its vintage charm, it's a nostalgic trip back to big hair and shoulder pads.
