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.

what a beauty! at last found a summer or spring fragrance with considerable sillage and longivity.It is excellent for daytime with refreshing floral scent

i think it smell so especial but after 30 minute on my skin.I LOVE IT I cant find anything similar to it's smell.

i love this smell and wanna have it. more pricey than the others isnt it? donnow if it is long-lasting...

it doesn't smell good at first but after 30min or a little more it smells so special and very nice.

Beautiful freagrance, I really love it for summer days

Tras probar "A Scent" puedo afirmar sin duda que este EDP es su hermana tímida. El aroma me recuerda muchísimo al anterior, comparten el galbanum y el jazmín, pero éste es mucho más floral. Creo que es ideal para aquellos que han encontrado un aroma con personalidad en el original pero demasiado verde, este es un intermedio. Es un perfume muy primaveral y diurno, limpio, fresco pero sobretodo seco, cosa que veo innovadora para ser un floral (según mi experiencia). La longevidad me parece buena. Estoy sorprendida de estos dos perfumes que he probado de Issey Miyake, ya que no conocía nada de él, y me han resultado totalmente distintos a la mayoría de perfumes que conozco. Pueden gustar o no, pero desde luego los he encontrado muy originales. *** After testing "A Scent" I can say without doubt that the EDP is the shy sister. The aroma reminds me a lot to the previous share galbanum and jasmine, but it is much more floral. I think it is ideal for those who have found a scent on the original personality, but too green, this is an intermediate. It is a spring and daytime perfume, clean, fresh but mostly dry, innovative thing I see to be a flower (in my experience). Longevity seems to me good. I'm surprised these two perfumes I've tried to Issey Miyake, and I did not know anything about him, and I have been totally different to most perfumes I know. They may like or not, but since then I have found very original.

Hello paeony! Hello lilac! Lilacs? yes definately lilac despite it not being listed as a note. Lily of the valley? Hmmm maybe, I get that note from the sample card but not from my skin. The jasmine only comes in a little later for me. Rather fresh and spring-like. So far, so good, but so what...This improves immensely after twenty minutes or so so when I'm really getting the ylang-ylang which turns the sex-dial up a notch (at least for me) It's a little like Chanel Allure eau de toilette, in fact it could be Allure's brattish younger cousin who constantly tries to copy everything Allure does but gets it ever so slightly wrong. It's rather nice, but I don't really need another rather-nice floral, I would rather just go buy another bottle of Allure.. The drydown is unremarkably soft and powdery. The more I think about this one, the more dissapointing I find it. I am an avid collector of Issey Miyake's clothing and only wish that a little more intellectual rigour had been applied to this fragrance. I would expect something more from one of the fashion worlds true innovators.

Understated elegance in a bottle!!! This perfume is a gem it smells wonderful but not a loud and flashy way. A Scent Florale is fresh, floral, light, and balmy. Initially the Galbanum is the most prominent note. As the day goes on jasmin is more noticable while galbanum morphs into something more powdery. A Scent Florale reminds me of Eau de Fleurs Cappucine by Chole (probably because of the Galbanum). My skin type: Oily / Youthful Projection: radiates with-in arm's length Longevity: 10+ hrs Office Safe: yes Potency: Light (5 or more sprays) Timing: anytime of the year / daytime Packaging: 6/10; nothing unique Will I repurchase: No Disclaimer: my experience may be different from your experience based on my skin type, my chemistry, the season, and my personal tastes

First spray it's not too sharp and too green like A Scent. This one is more floral. It has the same top notes and middle notes with A Scent, the original one. The base notes is different, it is soft floral and musk and A Scent is more green like grass but so fresh. If compare with A Scent, it is less powerful maybe because it's softer? I think. On my skin A Scent have a better lasting power. Both A Scent is too pricey, but if i must choose, i choose the Green one than the Pink. If you find that A Scent is too overpowering, then You may try A Scent Florale.

I have not worn an Issey Miyake fragrance for ages & I really mean ages. I just stopped including it in my collection. Then today I decided to test this & Wow! It definitely caught my attention. Alluring, Sensual, Seductive & most certainly Captivating! I could bathe myself in this stuff BUT I would probably be hoarding it to fearful of emptying my bottle of new found treasure. The Ylang Ylang was most dominant for me & I relish the note. A big YES for this beauty.

What more can really be said? Its exactly what it says on the box. It's a Scent, it's by Issey Miyake, and its Floral. When I sprayed it on I thought it was one of those small soaps you get in Hotel room bathrooms, but looking at it its definitely a bottle of fragrance, even if the bottle itself looks suspiciously like a block of soap... It's not unpleasant. Its clean, its fresh, it's palmolive. Wear it if you want to smell clean.

Gosh, I need to re-review my old one: what was I thinking? Hugo Boss femme? I don't think so now! Hugo Boss femme is kind of an alluring-office-perfume. A scent is a blushing-woman-on-a-tartan picknick-blanket-in-the-park-scent. I love how romantic floral this is; the original has a too sharp green citrussy note which makes me not like it.

I like the green, earlier version of this one. This one I can describe as being Vintagey Jasmine Issey Miyake style. Not very strong jasmine which is a good thing.

I like this one, fresh and floral, though nothing really special. Familiar to hugo boss femme(though the notes don't resemble).

Subtle, soapy, clean and floral. I get something minty too when I smell this. Nice but that's all.
