Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kenzo pour Homme EDT
Kenzo Pour Homme is a divisive beast. It's either an aquatic masterpiece or a synthetic scrubber, but one thing's for sure: it's truly unique. Wear it and some will swoon, others will say you smell like old plastic. Never boring.

Our Verdict - IS306 - IS. Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme EDT
Recreates Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme's watery-woody aquatic formula closely, though the base is thinner and less crisply mineral than the original's clean 1990s signature.
