Pros & Cons
- ✅ 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.
- ✅ 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.
- ✅ This is the first Issey M. flanker I use. It's very fresh light with a slight tropical scent. My hubby love it. I'm a very new fragrances TOC I bought it blind, in sale, because your good recommendations and I like it but it really has a poor longevity as you said. Anyway I didn't expected more but It would've be great If a fragrance like this could stay more in my skin.. if you can recommend me some Ill be glad
- ✅ I'm about to buy it in a few days. Tested today and really enjoyed it very much, although I personally can not find such a big difference with the other versions. They are all very similar.
- ✅ I just bought this perfume, being a big fan of Issey Miyake scents. However, having got it home I tested it against their 2013 Summer scent, and to me they smell almost the same!! Does anyone else also feel that all the scents in the Summer/Ete range smell very similar?
- ❌ 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.
- ❌ 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.
