Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ginza Eau de Parfum

Shiseido Ginza is a divisive floral-fruity, with some finding it a chic crowd-pleaser and others dismissing it as a generic shampoo scent. If you're after a youthful, clean, everyday wear, give it a go.

Our Verdict - Le Parfum

A divisive Francis Kurkdjian creation: if you like sweet, fruity florals with a clean, slightly soapy edge, this well-blended scent could be your signature. If not, it's just a bit 'meh'.

Formal

Its clean, inoffensive floral and fruity profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear, with reviews frequently mentioning it as a "work appropriate" or "easy wear". While it has good longevity and moderate sillage, it's not overpowering, making it versatile for various settings short of high-intensity sport.
