Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Eau Rêvée D'Ikar EDT
This isn't a safe blind buy, as it splits opinion between those who find its unique, herbaceous opening off-putting and those who adore its sophisticated, clean dry down. It's an acquired taste, but an addictive one for many.

Our Verdict - Dreamy Citrus EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of L'Eau Rêvée D'Ikar by Sisley - a citrus fragrance led by Bitter Orange, with powdery depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
