Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Oceanic Expedition EDP
This flanker offers a compelling-yet-divisive alternative to the original L'Eau d'Issey. Prepare for an invigorating grapefruit and ginger blast backed by marine freshness. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but many reckon it's even better than the OG despite the mixed reviews.

Our Verdict - Water Adventure For Men EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Oceanic Expedition - a citrus fragrance led by Grapefruit, Bergamot, Petitgrain, with fresh depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
