A Scent by Issey Miyake Eau de Parfum Florale

I'm loving it, it's a recent impulse buy. Besides the pleasant fragrance, there is two strong reasons at least for it becoming one of my main perfumes. First: if anyone saw my previous posts, he will see that i'm always complaining that nobody ever notices I'm wearing a fragrance, and i've never received any compliments or had anyone making any kind of comments about it, despite trying many types of scents and many ways of applying them. I mainly use them for myself, just because I enjoy it, and I don't worry very much about other people's opinion, but it's kind of frustrating for someone who loves perfume so much and have a nice little collection( in my opinion), to never get acknowledged to "smell good", no matter how many fumes you try, hehe. Well, today for the first time I was profusely complimented not only once, but twice, wearing "A Scent by I.M.". They even asked what it was and I was glad to wrote it down for them. They were asking where to but it ( I live in Brazil) and were very excited! Second reason is that it lasted many hours and stayed very perceptible all along, and that after 2 hours it suffered a marked change in the scent, suddenly releasing beautiful white flower notes, much better than the initial scent, which is a little soapy and strong (not a problem to me). I recommend to anyone who will try this for he to give it a chance to evolve along the day before making up his opinion on it. I'm really happy with A Scent, i'm glad I tried it!

I have Issey miyake a scent and I like it though it's very green and a bit sharp,actually it's one of rare green scents that I like.when I saw a tester bottle of it's florale flanker in highland I didn't wait to try it.when I first sprayed it on a a paper blotter it was kind of wierd.abstract florals with sharp,green undertone.I didn't smell it until twenty minutes later when it surprised my nose with a divine scent!I don't know how to describe it.it's a gorgeous heavenly floral scent which is fresh but not really green or aquatic.it has delicate sweetness and kind of fresh at the same time warm quality that makes me think of a flower bouquet under spring sun.very beautiful!I can detect peony,not a sharp,showy one and jasmine.but I can't detect ylang-ylang or galbanum and I'm very familiar with galbanum,not even hyacinth which was the main player in original a scent.it's a very simple perfume but a very pretty one.I need to try it once more on my skin but for now I liked it.it's ageless,springy and has a nice,soft powdery drydown.longevity and sillage seems to be moderate.gonna edit this review as soon as I try it on my skin

Today I'm feeling very nostalgic, visiting some fragrances that I haven't used in years, I found a bottle with a little bit of this very special perfume A Scent by Issey Miyake Eau de Parfum FLORALE. I kept it and didn't use it until the end so that I could remember the scent whenever I wanted, nowadays it's so hard to find it... what a shame... I always used it when I washed my hair, after I combed it I would spray it on my hair and body, I would smell good all day long and I would get compliments, what a delicate and delicious floral, I was sure I had written about it here, it was one of my favorites, but I couldn't find it, so I wrote to pay tribute to it, a fresh peony with a sweet base of ylang ylang, I found it strange that some reviews said it was generic and boring, but the perception of a fragrance is very subjective, for me it is very special, delicate without being weak, it lasts and exhales well, a scent with quality olfactory ingredients.

I picked this one up on special and was told by the sales person that it is discontinued. If that's true it's a pity, because this is a great fragrance. I don't see hyacinth in the notes but there's definitely a great big green hyacinth note right up front. Under the hyacinth is a clean green base, cool and fresh like spring. About 30 minutes into this I get a non-indolic jasmine note. Sillage is medium, not sure about longevity but I'm guessing 4 hours. I would wear this in Spring or Summer, it's classy and a little suave, not sweet, romantic or frilly. Clean and cool, fresh and bright. Does not present as synthetic to me. Highly recommended if you like green florals.

I love this perfume because it smells like a stronger version of peace love and juicy by JC. A very strong white floral that somehow reminds me of a wedding bouquet. Love it :) kicking myself for not purchasing it at smith & caugheys when it was on sale.
