Pros & Cons
- ✅ ScarlettX 05/25/16 07:42: This is a good one. Perfectly fresh and light summer scent. I can smell light tropical fruit note and tart grapefruit. It also has that distinctive l'eau d'Issey scent in it. Intensively reminds me of summer. A nice scent, easy to wear, light, a bit tart and summery.
- ✅ Arlene-Beatrix 06/13/16 13:08: Typical light citrus scent with grapefruit as a king. Tropical notes are also there so it's a good choice for vacations in some sunny country.
- ✅ I didn't know it was possible to bottle seasons until I bought this. An amazing fragrance which is Summer in a bottle
- ✅ Issey Summer 2016 is the way to go! Great longevity for a summer scent with a beautiful pineapple accord to boot!
- ✅ Not a big fan of citrus-aromatic fragrances, but I do really enjoy my bottle of Summer 2013 when the weather gets hot. To me Summer 2016 is similar to their Summer 2013 offering, with subtle difference, but I love love 'em both.
- ❌ KeriB1982 04/30/16 23:32: Tried this today at Macy's. For some reason it brings to mind Elizabeth Arden's Sunflower perfume. I tried to like it and sniffed at my wrist all day, but it never seemed to developed at all. Non offensive, but nothing special, in my opinion.
- ❌ pjspaceshit 04/12/20 07:37: Very cheap and not very successful blind buy of mine. It's similar to the original L'Eau d'Issey with a bitter grapefruit twist. I love a good grapefruit note in fragrances, but here, I don't know, most of the time I get the impression that the notes are not very well blended and sticking out to my nose in weird ways. But it certainly isn't your typical citrus fragrance, which also could be a good thing for someone. Looking at the notes, I would imagine this would be a heavenly tropical scent not very similar to the original, but unfortunately, it isn't. It's not bad, just not my favorite. I'll probably use it up as a hot summer day refreshener and for casual outdoor activities.
- ❌ Yes, I agree that it smells bright and fresh. However, on my skin, longevity is terrible and sillage is practically non-existent.
- ❌ Very pleasant scent, but the longevity issues are real. 2-3 hours.
- ❌ Summer '16 is 'adequate' but certainly but nothing special, or worth any praise. As this flanker has a very, very watered down, and cheap, and hyper-synthetic smell to it, compounded with extremely poor longevity and poor overall performance.
