Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A Scent by Issey Miyake EDT
This green, fresh powerhouse is a divisive blast of invigorating nature. Opinion is split between a clean, zen-like experience and an overpowering, soapy assault. Not for the faint-hearted or those who dislike strong green notes.
Statement
Our Verdict - Beautiful Smell For Women EDP
Beautiful Smell interprets Issey Miyake's A Scent - that minimalist green floral of crisp citrus, jasmine, hyacinth and galbanum. The dupe captures the clean, transparent character but renders it flatter and shorter-lived than the original.
