Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L’Eau Serge Lutens Eau de Toilette

Divisive yet iconic, L'Eau by Serge Lutens is the 'anti-perfume' that sets out to smell like nothing and everything clean. Some find it a groundbreaking minimalist masterpiece, others a bland, overpriced laundry detergent. Love it or hate it, it certainly makes a statement by *not* making one.

Our Verdict - Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's the ultimate fresh, minty summer pick-me-up; for others, it's just glorified toothpaste or cleaning product. Performance is largely dire, but the devoted reapply all day long.

Season and Occasion Fit

L’Eau Serge Lutens Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

This scent is perfect for the office due to its inoffensive 'clean' profile and moderate projection; many reviews highlight its suitability for professional settings. While good for casual wear, its subtlety and lack of traditional 'perfume' notes make it less ideal for dates or formal events where a bolder statement might be preferred. It's a suitable choice for sport due to its refreshing nature.

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and non-offensive profile makes it good for the office, though its poor longevity means it's best for casual wear where reapplication isn't a faff. The invigorating mint and green accords make it a solid choice for sport, but it lacks the depth or sophistication for dates or formal events.
