Which Should You Buy?
A crystalline, mineral sea breeze in a bottle - Eau des Merveilles Bleue is transparent, bracing, and quietly sophisticated. It is perfect for those who want subtle intrigue and oceanic freshness without sweetness or showiness.
280 dupes Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey's marine salt-and-woods signature well, but comes across softer and less dry than the original.
