Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme EDT
A crisp, iconic aquatic citrus that still feels effortlessly modern and clean. L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme is a timeless staple for daily wear, balancing invigorating freshness with subtle woody depth.

Our Verdict - Japanese Complete EDP
Japanese Complete chases Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme's aquatic-citrus-woody classic. The bright yuzu-and-calone opening over watery florals and clean woods reads true to the brief, but as a budget dupe it lands flatter and lighter than the original.
