A Drop d'Issey Essentielle

The OG is creamy like a body cream, this one is watery like a body wash. Fresh and absolutely perfect for summer days and for the gym. Bc of the watery feel, this does not last half as much as the original one. I tried that one first and found it extremely versatile but i think this tops that one in versatility esp since this is also perfectly unisex unlike that one which is very feminine to my nose. i would personally wear both year round since i live in a hot place and don't experience cold but i suppose the OG could be a nice everyday scent for the winter since it is thicker and creamier and this one for the summer. the only complaint i have with this one is the longevity but over spraying it helps. the og however gave me a headache when i sprayed it recently... so both have their pros and cons lol. pick and choose based on what you prefer or be like me and get both heheh. i don't find them similar at all and i will get so much use out of both bc they are so easy to wear

I expected nothing from it, but it actually turned out to be really great. Fresh aquatic floral. It's a watercolor type of fragrance. You definitely can feel it, but it doesn't enter the room before you do. Projection is medium. Lasted on me for about +8hours. But again it's a soft kind of scent, so don't expect it to be loud and/or loud during the whole day you're wearing. It does remind me Aura in a way. But in its best part. Green aquatic flower, feels like a sea breeze, but with no sweetness as in Aura. I'd definitely recommend it. Suitable for office. Kind of a clean skin smell type.

the most beautiful underwatery floral Kingdom! super cheerful and unique! a true breath of holy freshness! not very lasting tho but i guess in the summer will have amazing lasting power,especially on clothes!

So fresh and creamy at the same time. Nivea cream type of smell. Pretty unisex to my taste, not very long lasting though

Very enjoyable fragrance. Very unisex and perfect for spring and summer. Aquatic and green. Nice !

wspaniałe! we wszystkich odsłonach drop d'issey czuć piękny bez, a tutaj mamy jeszcze zielone nuty

Smells nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, like the original A Drop d'Issey. And because of that, I LOVE it, as I cannot stand the original at all. This is as close to a rainy scent in the forest as one can get. It's not marketed as such, but it reminds me of rain, so I'll go with that. Beautiful, beautiful scent. I am totally in love with it. Opens with very fresh green aquatic smell. I detect green notes and watery notes (that are not salty, thankfully), and maybe a tiny bit of magnolia, and those are enough for me. Simple, elegant, beautiful. This is the fragrance I've been waiting for but never knew I needed. PS. Doesn't smell like a typical masculine fragrance to my nose. It's totally unisex.

Upon hearing good reviews on this and enjoying nature-based and floral scents myself, I decided to pick this fragrance up. At first, after waiting for the alcohol to dissipate, it smelled a bit cloyish, but it grew on me quite a bit. The leafy and lilac notes mix very well, and it smells pretty fresh. On my skin, it does not have great sillage, as I have to get close to my arm to really smell it, but I think it is a good discrete fragrance for those who enjoy sweet and floral scents. It stays on my skin from early morning to late at night, and it may attract compliments. As someone who prefers strong scents, it still gets a 7/10!

It's like a boy or girl just took a bath then go walking around a green field after the rain stopped. It's greennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, clean, soapy and watery but you'll feel a musk and white floral behind it. It's quite natural scent. Longevity is ok for this kind of fresh perfume. I wear 5-6 sprays I get 5-7 hours but when Im wearing this 8-10 sprays, I get 8 Hours +- on my skin (Which is good!). Projection is good for first 2 hours after that it'll become skin scent. Smell 8/10 Longevity 7.5/10 Projection 7/10 Overall 7.5/10 It's really good but not great. Anyway, I like it.

This is pleasant, but almost too subtle for its own good. It's a very tranquil, light green scent that feels almost sensual and frankly quite maternal. Mother nature's gentle caressing breeze.Dewy lillac blossoms and stews over a gently zesty Magnolia. An absolute skin scent, but sometimes we need thoose. The scent reminds me of Estee Lauder Beautiful Magnolia with a very slight touch of L'eau d'Issey. and Fragonard's Lilas. I think I'll be using this for early morning spritzes after a hot bath or for interviews. Defintely worth a try if the price is good.

This is my latest buy and I really like it. A beautiful soft dewy floral aquatic for spring and summer. No harsh synthetics (my nose is very sensitive to all the different ambroxans, cashmerans, etc.). The longevity is indeed fairly weak but that's the price I'm willing to pay for softer more delicate scents. I don't mind reapplying. In fact, my motto has become to spray to my heart's content, and when I finish a bottle there are so many exciting options I can replace it with. I think this is blind-buy safe for most freshie lovers.

Clean, green, summertime aquatic. Not groundbreakingly different from other aquatic fresh Isseys but still very nice. I appreciate the lack of rose in this though - it's less floral focused overall than his others. The original A Drop d'Issey is more special than this IMO. Totally different and worth trying. I don't smell any lilac at all in any of the A Drop d'Issey line. Sad about it.

Forgot I had bought this. Following Eddie B's positive review, I hit up TKMaxx, and then misfiled Drop in my collection (actually the more appropriate word is 'hoard) until yesterday. Eddie was not wrong about it being a beautiful thing - it's rather lovely and very much in my 90s aquatic wheelhouse. The bottle is nice too, it is very tactile and feels like a meditation palmstone.

I bought it during Christmas sales and kept it for springtime. I opened it yesterday and sprayed it on my arm. It's a nice green scent, but very weak. It disappeared after one hour on me, and I need to spray it again. I don't recommend buying it without sales because it's too expensive for this longevity, only if you find it with a big sale.

My friend's mom gifted me a sample and I decided to use it this summer when I went on vacation. It's very pleasant and clean, sooo comforting for a warm spring day. Smells like freely running through flower fields or lying in bed all day while the sun keeps you warm, unfortunately, I start getting headaches after wearing it for a while

I like this, smells feminine and fresh. Dew drops and lilac. editing to add: I grew up with a big, beautiful lilac tree that I would play under like a fort. This reminds me of being there after it rained. If lilac is not sentimental to you, this scent may indeed seem boring, but for me it recalls feeling "safe," in the best way.

Extremely wearable and likeable, not going to offend anyone. It's a great scent that reminds me of when you've gone to the beach, then showered and dried off, but your hair is still wet. It's afternoon but not evening yet and you might grab a mojito or maybe some iced tea

Adjectives that describe this fragrance: Green, dewy, soft, delicate, petrichor, soapy, fresh, aquatic, watery....I do have a fondness for these clean slightly powdery, dreamy, Nivea fragrance’s. The magnolia is pretty prominent in this giving it a lemony floral quality.

I find this scent very greeny and citrusy but mostly green and musk almost like a musky grass to me, It's light and inoffensive scent for office wear, it's gotten me compliments before and I enjoy the inoffensive nature.

In hot muggy weather, which perhaps isn’t its intended use, I get a creamy sheer version of Kenzo Amour. I’m sure this is meant for cooler temps, but I couldn’t resist trying it as soon as it arrived!
