Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Heure Verte Eau de Parfum

Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it experience with this one. Kilian's L'Heure Verte is a divisive, bold fragrance that some find intoxicatingly unique while others recoil from its intense, medicinal liquorice kick. Not a safe blind buy, but endlessly fascinating.

Statement

Our Verdict - Issara Eau de Parfum

Issara is an enigmatic beast - a gorgeous, calming fougere that sadly commits the cardinal sin of being fleeting for many. It's truly beautiful up close, with a quality that screams luxury, but don't expect it to shout across the room.

Best For:

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its intimate sillage and clean, non-overpowering profile make it excellent for office and casual wear. The subtle nature means it won't project much on a date, and the aromatic-woody character is generally unsuitable for formal events or sport.
