Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Friction Eau de Parfum
This cheapie is either a creamy coconut dream or a synthetic disaster, depending on who you ask. Most agree it's a fleeting summer fling with a pineapple punch, but don't expect it to last.
Statement
Our Verdict - Le Feu D'Issey Light Eau de Parfum
This discontinued gem still sparks fervent love and desperate pleas for its return. A unique, milky-woody blend that's both comforting and distinctly unusual. It's truly a shame it's gone.

Best For:
Spring Summer

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