Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L’Eau Serge Lutens Eau de Toilette

Divisive yet iconic, L'Eau by Serge Lutens is the 'anti-perfume' that sets out to smell like nothing and everything clean. Some find it a groundbreaking minimalist masterpiece, others a bland, overpriced laundry detergent. Love it or hate it, it certainly makes a statement by *not* making one.

Our Verdict - L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme Eau de Toilette

This early aquatic freshie is a crowd-pleasing, nostalgic trip down memory lane. It's universally loved for its clean, invigorating scent, though its notoriously poor longevity leaves everyone wanting more, or at least a full-size spare for constant reapplication.

Season and Occasion Fit

L’Eau Serge Lutens Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

This scent is perfect for the office due to its inoffensive 'clean' profile and moderate projection; many reviews highlight its suitability for professional settings. While good for casual wear, its subtlety and lack of traditional 'perfume' notes make it less ideal for dates or formal events where a bolder statement might be preferred. It's a suitable choice for sport due to its refreshing nature.

Office Casual Sport

Its light sillage and poor longevity make it perfect for intimate settings where it won't overwhelm, like the office or a casual outing. It's too fleeting for formal events, but its refreshing qualities are highly celebrated for sport and hot weather.
