Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Sel d’Issey EDT
A crystalline blast of oceanic salt, green seaweed, and fresh woods that feels both sharply modern and deeply elemental. A must for fans of aquatic masculines who want something more mineral and natural than sweet.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Odessa For Men EDP
A budget take on Valentino Uomo Born in Roma. The salty-mineral violet opening over a sage-and-vetiver woody base nods to the original's clean, rainy-day character; this is one of the less faithful PP matches, with at least one wearer finding it drifts off-course once sprayed, though the drydown lands closer.

Season and Occasion Fit

Le Sel d’Issey

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Its salty-marine freshness and crisp green facets make it ideal for spring and summer, when airy, breezy scents flourish. The light woody drydown also keeps it wearable into early fall but it may feel too fresh and sheer for deep winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

The understated projection and clean, bracing character make it perfect for office and casual wear, easily fitting sporty or active situations. Its relaxed aquatic nature is less suited to formal events or romantic evenings.

Odessa For Men
