Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Journey Eau de Parfum
Journey is a deeply divisive scent; some will adore its fresh, clean floral character as a signature, while others find its aquatic sweetness old-fashioned and headache-inducing. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Our Verdict - Osaka Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Femme (1992) - lotus, peony and cedar translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
