Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Curious Eau de Parfum
This is a clean, fresh white floral that's either a pleasant, inoffensive everyday spritz or an alcohol-laden air freshener, depending on who you ask. It's a proper throw-on and go, though probably better suited for younger wearers.

Our Verdict - L' D'Issey Absolue Eau de Toilette
This one is a divisive gem. For some, it's a luscious, honey-dipped floral dream - golden and intoxicating. For others, it's a screechy, bitter, or even rotten floral mess. You'll either adore its sophisticated sweetness or recoil from its unexpected turns.

Season and Occasion Fit

Curious Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, inoffensive nature makes it suitable for casual wear and even the office, as many reviews suggest. However, the light projection and body mist format mean it's less ideal for formal settings or a date where more impact is desired.

L' D'Issey Absolue Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its potent floral-honey sweetness makes it a bit much for a formal office setting, though it shines for dates given its sensuality. It's versatile enough for casual wear, often evoking Mediterranean vibes, but its richness isn't suited for sport.
