Fusion d'Issey

Definitely one of my new favorite summer fragrances, this stuff is honestly beautiful. When I saw the list of notes, I instantly bought it. Fusion d'Issey offers a bit of everything with this one, and the result is something that's fun, sweet, fruity, masculine, watery, and fresh all at the same time. The opening is filled with bright citrus, juicy fig, rosemary, and a faint touch of creamy coconut. The blend of lemon and rosemary is clean and masculine, and it reminds me a bit of Light Blue, a fragrance that I love (but don't wear because it has nonexistent performance). It serves as the perfect contrast to the creamy, rich, and sweet base that consists of the sandalwood and coconut. Yes, this fragrance can be reminiscent of something like suntan lotion, but in a very subtle way that makes it even better for the summer. It's not very synthetic, cloying, or loud. This one was made for the outdoors on a hot, sunny, clear skies day. If you want something for summer that's a bit sweeter and not a generic citrus or oceanic fragrance, this is for you. Bottle also looks really nice, despite the comically large cap.

Coconut mixed with fig, an aromatic woodiness in the background with a touch of sandalwood, rosemary and ambroxan. It smelled a bit odd and sour when I first sprayed this, but there was still something catching my attention. It contains coconut so it could be compared to JPG Le Beau and Kenzo Homme night , but to my nose it's not really close to those two, this is more interesting and daring. It has some nuances in the background that remind me a bit of Black Orchid, as strange as it may sound. I love it more and more, it's one of those fragrances I had to try and try to appreciate it, the longevity is not the best though, but I guess the smell could be overwhelming if it had better performance. That would be the perfect scent to wear on a night out in a tropical island.

This is the perfume that got me into perfumes in the first place. I love the sweet fig mixed with coconut and wood, it has this unique sweetness, freshness I haven't smelled before. Personally, I use perfumes for my own enjoyment/confidence, but I have gotten a few compliments about it when I spray it after my breath analyser or when I'm outside relaxing. In this extreme heat of 45 °C, it lasts maybe 3~4 hours, but I don't mind it, I carry a small decant case to top it up whenever i need it. To me its freshness and confidence, and it reminds me of the hard work I've done wearing it to get to where I am now, another thing helping its case is that my girlfriend absolutely loves it to the point where she has her own decant to use if she misses me, 10/10

When I smelled it for the first time I was instantly captivated by the creamy freshness radiating from the back of my hand. I knew I had to get it especially for the price that they had it at my local discount store. I paid around $32 and in my opinion I think it’s worth more. This scent reminds me of YSL Y EDP. I’m not saying it smells similar to that but it’s definitely in the same wheelhouse but with a creaminess added to it. Very manly but I’m sure confident women could totally pull this off. Projection is actually pretty heavy and it’s lasted around 5 hours on my skin so performance is pretty average, which is good for a summer scent. Don’t sleep on this one. 8.5/10

woodsy + orange citrus + coconut milk + black pepper spicy + blue shower-gel. Got an official sample, sprayed here at home tonight while i sit in front of the computer. Unexpected "Yum!". Has a combo of a Tom Ford style synthetic wood + Coconut Milk that makes it very addicting to me. In the same family genre as 'D&G's 'The One - Intense' (but The One Intense doesn't have a woodsy note). This one is now on my radar, but need to wear it more to get more exp. REALLY enjoying this! The 1st and most prominent note is 'woodsy' shower-gel. *Edit: After 1 hour i went nose-blind to it and could barely smell it on my nose. So shit longevity. Sad. :/ 4/5 Woofs!

Batch code 2020 Projection: 1-2 hours, really loud and strong to me Longevity: 6+ Hours, I find it to last longer on clothes than skin Thoughts: I am amazed by the projection for the first two hours it is really strong and radiant but then after that it starts to fade to skinscent, for the longevity I got like 7 sprays and it lasts easily on my clothes for more than 6+ hours. I can smell this and definitely catch the notes of the Rosemary, cardamom Lemon, coconut. About the fig notes. I would like to say that I am unable to get that. Perhaps it has to do something enhancing the overall scent. 9/10 for me :)

I was surprised when I initially sprayed this on my skin in the department store. It seemed to last longer than expected and developed into a lovely fresh coconut/woody scent that I couldn’t stop smelling. For ~$39 on discounters, it’s a no-brainer for me. Something simple and clean that stands out in my collection of fresh fragrances. I will say that if you’re not a fan of sunscreen/lotion-scented scents, it may not be for you. Would pick this over any fresh/blue designer fragrance out right now. Sleeper pick for sure.

i tested in my local mall fragrance store. for a mere 30 bucks i bought a 100ml tester bottle , i put 2 sprays on my arm on noon and at night i still caught some whiffs good perfomance for a cheap freshie, the coconut notes is prominent, but it doesnt leave a sunscreen smell. with the rest of the notes it creates a fresh ,aromatic, aquatic ,metallic and woody profile, with hints of fougeree elements making it more versatile for any occasion during spring/summer the intense version has weak perfomance comparing to the og

A Very Unique and slept-on fragrance. Great for people just getting into designer fragrances, who want something a little more sophisticated than your average Cool Water and Voyage, but who aren't quite ready to pay DiOr or YSL prices. It lacks longevity; however, the base notes endure faintly on the skin and can still be smelled in intimate environments. This is nice if you're looking to appeal to a partner or SO with a gentle, non-overwhelming dry-down scent.

Wonderful! A love on the first try. Unisex and perfect for summer. This is a creamy coconut and fig fragrance. When I smell it, I smell vacation! The creaminess reminds me a bit of Kenzo Homme Intense/Marine (thanks to the sandalwood maybe?). The coconut is very pleasant, not too sweet. Disappointed by the longevity (less than 3 hours on me), such unfortunate because I absolutely love this fragrance (way more than the Extreme version).

Best coconut fragrance I have smelled and this is extremely slept on like no one glazes this fragrance for some reason because it’s a perfect well rounded fragrance. But unfortunately the projection and longevity is not the best, I’ve had compliments on this but it’s only due to being in intimate environments like a very small shop it’s very skin scent like but if you live in hot climates it may project better on you.

I tried this via a small tester. This is very nice indeed, as a woman who likes to wear mens perfume I think is a very balanced and pleasing scent. The initial blue burst dries down to a soft woody smell. I could say this smells like sophisticated mens shower gel. Good for everyday wear to the office or before bed.

God damn I love this. So creamy, so aromatic, sits perfectly on my skin and I sink into flashbacks to Bali drinking pina coladas on the beach 10 days straight! 😂 1 spray on my wrist was great. I showered and I can still smell it on the same wrist. Great skin scent. Makes me miss the warmer summer days

Sweet tropical island feeling. Best Coconut/suntanlotion vibe I have smelled in a fragrance. Not really masculine but perfect for warm summer evening in the summer after a day on the beach/lake. White shirt and a cocktail in the hand. Holiday in a bottle.

This one makes me happy 😊 I was looking for that coconut sunoil fragrance. It's creamy spicy fresh and perfect for a day on the beach. Alltso good for the office... Or anytime really for that matter😁 I got the big 150ml bottle for a great price.

In comparison, the fig nectar note is similar to Fico Di Amalfi by ADP. IMO it's relaxing, crowd pleasing, and different from what you would normally encounter. 4/5 from me. Can't wait to try the Fusion D'Issey Extreme next...

Lighter, fresher TF Black Orchid or Calvin Klein Obsession Night...I like it, especially since I've been looking for something with coconut, which there isn't much of. Coconut & Lime, good for a day @ the beach or two!😎

امتزاج التين مع جوز الهند يعطي رائحة جميلة ، ثم تظهر رائحة خشب الصندل وتسيطر على العطر بشكل تام ، العطر بشبه إلى حد كبير كينزو edt انتنس. ،، رائحة جميلة لكن الأداء دون المتوسط بنفس السعر كينزو اجمل وأقوى بفرق بالأداء

Somehow it reminds me, slightly, the fresher version of Jeux de Peau by Serge Lutens . Like it.

Aquatic beachy fig and coconut. I really like this! Smells like summertime.

Smells awesome So fresh with a slight hint of sweetness Bad longevity

Once the aromatic top passes and this scent starts to dry down, for the most part the wear is about a creamy woody fig. I don’t really view the coconut as a separate note, it’s not that distinctive. Instead it adds a creaminess to the more dominant fig facets. It’s definitely more about the fig than the coconut! I think some reviews are confusing the fig as being ‘coconut’ because Fragrantica put ‘coconut’ in the main accords, which they shouldn’t imo since it’s a note, not an olfactory group or generalised attribute - which is usually what’s embraced in the scents ‘main accords’. Adding notes can sometimes create confusion. Anyways this scent reminds me substantially of Demeter Fig Leaf. The two scents are in very close proximity to each other. Where Fusion leans woody fig, the Demeter leans more green leaf fig. The actual fig facets are remarkably similar in how they both smell and wear though. Fig Leaf is perhaps a little more lactonic in the base, but by a very marginal amount. There’s not a whole lot of ripe fruit in either of them either. Perhaps a tad more in Fusion since it’s a little less green. Overall though, not that different. The thing with the Demeter is it’s also one of the few I’ve tried that both lasts and projects extremely well. Both aspects are equal to if not better than Fusion, which is kind of a rare thing amongst the Demeter’s having tried a fairly decent bunch of them. They’re generally not meant to be long lasting but occasionally you strike one that breaks all the rules. Anyway, the long and short is if you’re into the fig aspects of Fusion, I’d definitely consider giving the Demeter a try. For me it’s well in the same playing field and excellent for layering with too if you want to add a little extra green to something else.

I have to concur with previous reviewers pointing out that "blue shower gel" vibe that Fusion clearly has. But to my nose, there is a lot more going on here than that. I've yet to fully process the experience of wearing "Fusion," but right off the bat, I am hit with a combination of woody, clean, sweet and aquatic, where no one note quite dominates. After what for me is a bit of a loud opening, I can start to pick out distinct notes and accords, which provides a sort of narrative of what this fragrance is about. There is a creamy coconut/citrus accord that weaves its way in and out throughout its life that strikes me as a much more refined version of that brutally forceful and synthetic-as-hell coconut/citrus/amber accord featured in Cool Water Intense. The balance of sandalwood/woody/coconut is really handled well IMO, providing a nice, creamy feel. Likewise, the use of ambroxan is unusually subtle and smooth. All of this hints at a thoughtful construction. Throughout Fusion's early life, I also get hints of rosemary, evokes L'eau Bleue of the same brand -- the combined effect of which brings it right to the edge of ADG territory, but with its own distinctive twists. My only knock on this one is that, like L'eau Bleue, there is a kind of "hot" muskiness in there early on that I believe may be the geranium shouting a bit with the rosemary. Thankfully, that passes, leaving a bit of that nice herbaceousness behind. Overall, I think the artistry and restraint in "Fusion" brings to mind a sort of daytime/semi-tropical ADG Profumo styling, which really works for me. But in spite of bearing some obvious similarities to a number of mainstream "Crowd pleaser" fragrances, I think what Nathalie Lorson did here is notable and actually quite creative. Thumbs up!

This new Issey Miyake proposal is sophisticated, smells great and brings something different, especially considering current releases. Having said this, the fragrance should be elevated to the halls of Olympus... Or not? It'll depend on the priorities of each person, but the truth is that it isn't a perfume that will dazzle everyone, nor does it appear to be its intention, either: Fusion d'Issey doesn't come to revolutionize perfumery at all... But what it does, is smell stylish. This one is a fragrance for lovers of the modern trendy but with some different - but subtle -nuances. - The scent: Fusion d'Issey gently opens citrus, herbal and exotic. It's fresh, slightly aquatic and from the beginning it's charmingly aromatic. Fig nectar and coconut milk add some subtle nuances here in an unexpected way, which are really great. They'll remain in the development of the scent, when soft floral and woody notes appear merging with rosemary and cardamom, which will continue to be present throughout the dry-down. In the last part patchouli and sandalwood take center stage, floating on a light sea breeze subtly aromatic. - Longevity & Projection: It's a moderate-to-smooth projector, with a nice but short trail. The scent radius lasts 4 to 5 hours, although it remains about 7h as an skin scent. - Ocassions & Mood: Perfect for sunsets on chillout clubs having a drink - spring, summer, early fall - : It's relaxing and comforting... Just perfect. In addition, it’s a wise choice for the gym and the office during most of the year, too - the contrast of cold & heat makes a good effect -. - Conclusion: An exotic fougere, charming, modern, soft and easy-to-wear, although maybe not for everyone. ... But it has style.

Now what do we have here?! A new Miyake that is neither a flanker or something with a name so long that it hardly fits on the bottle. The bottle for Fusion is a bit of eye candy, good job marketing! Actually, the bottle itself does not seem to be the only thing that Miyake’s marketing department have been working long hours on : the entire background story with volcanoes, molten rock (the “mineral solar scent” supposedly emulating rocks in the hot sun), water, earth, fire, air, hot and cold are all a very grandiose theme for something that in my eyes is more down to earth. After testing for a week under different weather conditions, I can report that the main players are definitely the fig & coconut supported by rosemary & ambroxan and combined with the heart notes it gives off a rather aquatic feeling more than a fougere. Not overly masculine, but very pleasant. Even if the notes are quite different, I do get some similarities in the base to one of Nathalie Lorson’s latest creations, K by Dolce & Gabbana. On one hand due to the rosemary/ambrox/ISO-E combo, but on the other hand also due to the rather underwhelming performance of both of these. All in all, Fusion is a nice summery aquatic/fougere with a twist – nothing mindblowing but still enjoyable. So we’re basically left with two options here : If you’re not into scents whose performance is far from beast mode - just skip it! If you’re just a big Miyake fan and/or find the pretty bottle to be a nice addition to your collection, go ahead and enjoy it – just be prepared to bring an atomizer. Personally if the performance wasn’t less than average, I would probably be rating it higher.

Great opening with lots going on IMO. Sprayed a tester in the shop and a lady walking past stopped in her tracks to ask what’s that and exclaimed how lovely she felt it was. I perceive a fruity musky opening that is very strong, exciting and immediate which sadly fades/disappears super quick then a moderate linear composition remains that I can’t quite put my finger on but feel I’ve smelled it before on a very old scent possibly from the 80’s (who knows could be imaginary !). Reading the notes I’d put it down as woody/floral/rosemary. I get a big fat 0 on the coconut and mostly anything else. I’ve been told it is manly but fresh and on me the linear scent continues through the dry down pretty much unchanged apart from weakening (2-3 hours). Projection is very weak, skin scent longevity also way below average. After a couple of evening sprays on the wrist it is non existent/gone in the morning and I don’t think I own another scent that vaporises completely overnight which is disappointing. Interesting scent, enjoyable however short lived and wearable but not quite sure why - possibly intrigue factor on my behalf?

I tried this again today for probably the third or fourth time already, for me it's definitely been rewarding to try it more than once, I like it more each time. Today I think I worked out a scent which Fusion, at least in part reminds me of, though they are certainly not identical - Obsession Night for Men by Calvin Klein, my bottle is currently in basement storage with all except my warm weather scents due to the hot summer weather so I can't compare side by side. In any case I know they're not the same, but it's that coconutty (I know, not a real word) type accent which both have at times. Aqua Kenzo is similar to this Issey in many ways too, although I think that one has less of a fresh kick to it. Fusion could be a fresher take on JPG Le Beau too. This isn't a beastly, in-your-face fragrance but it does offer an inviting semi-sweet, semi-fresh option, a bit of both worlds if you like. Fusion d'Issey is a good one, arguably Miyake's attempt to jump on a certain trend but I like it and hope to get a bottle at some point once it gets discounted properly, it's definitely going towards the top my wish list!

#1759 in my “Tour de Fragrance” If this were available in an EDP I would own it. But I feel the same about the very similar Guess "1981 Indigo.” Nice vibrant floral fig and coconut scent. I prefer the sharpness of the lemon in this to the more tropical notes like the mango, mandarin and ylang ylang you often find in scents like this. Unusually for a coconut scent this is actually more office wear than beach wear. Crisp white dress shirt and tie, not swimming trunks and flip flops. Moderate performance as we expect from an EDT. You’d respray this at lunch if worn to the office. It would make it through a dinner date, but not something more active. For something inexpensive in EDP strength Fragrance World has a JPG “Le Beau Paradise Garden” similar called “Urban Man Paradise.” Reebok’s “Iconic White” is more citric but similar. And there’s always the more overtly tropical Khadlaj “Island”, Rayhaan “Tropical Vibe”, “Aquatica" and “Atlantis”, and Rasasi ’s “Hawas Tropical.” Good Luck and Good Hunting!

Starts with: Fresh & zesty burst of fig and lemon Transitions to: Wood drenched in milky coconut water Settles to: A pleasant wood-and-masculine-deodorant mishmash, with the light trace of coconut humming along in the background Really like this one; sadly it doesn't get talked about much nowadays. It's Issey Miyake dipping its toes in the 'dumb-reach-male-blue-fragrance' market zeitgeist of today, but avoiding to fully dive into that niche. It's a shower gel fragrance following the fresh-on-top + ambrox-woody-base anatomy with just enough twist (a non-sweet, non-suntan-lotiony coconut) to set it apart from the others. What this lacks in versatility (the Fusion Extreme is more versatile and unisex-leaning IMO), it makes up for how easy it is to wear casually - on a daytime errand, in the gym, or for outdoor nights out in summer. I hope Issey Miyake continues to sell this line, it's a great midpoint choice between the light-citrus-aquatic L'eau d'Issey and the heavier Nuit d'Issey line.

First impressions, tested on skin and paper strip; I really like this one, the opening is gorgeous, fruit and creamy coconut! It reminds me a bit of JPG Le Beau but more restrained and less sweet. *maybe the Kenzo Aqua that someone mentioned above too. This doesn't seem like a strong scent but it does seem to have a nice sillage. It's one I'd like to try again properly once I can get a sample. The presentation is awesome (even if I expected something more radical or 'dangerous' with such imagery!). It didn't* wow me initially but it definitely has something about it, seems very well blended, I get an impression of a soft suede like accord but this could be coming from the combination of patchouli with certain other notes. Nice. Update; this is good! Perhaps it's dangerous in a seductive sense ;) to be continued... Update 2, the day after; I've been won over, this is a winner to me both scent and longevity, I hope to get a bottle some time soon! :)

this is a good product, from bottle to juice. As in Miyake's tradition, bottle is solidly appealing. In this case they really made sth that stands out on the shelf. Perfume itself is also solid. On my skin is a balanced and wearable combination of coconut and ambroxan. I'd say that it stays the same for all its course, which is not short. It's not a revolutionary fragrance but it's probably one of the best outcomes in his category - it's well rounded but not shy - I had three other frags sprayed on my arms and this was the one cannibalizing them all. But in a smooth, reassuring way. Seasons for wearing > summer primarily but not only, any moment of the day, everywhere. Unfortunately in europe Miyake is primarily sold by that plague called Douglas, and at the moment the price is around 80 EUR.. 50/60 EUR shall be a more honest price and a successful choice.

I tried a sample of this and I was a little surprised! I read earlier that it smelled like sun tan lotion so that's what I was expecting before trying it. When I tried it I did get the sun tan lotion vibe a little bit but not in any negative way. I get a tropical vibe with the coconut but it's done in fresh sort of way. This fragrance is both warm and cool like the colors present in the advertisements. To me this is very pleasant even though coconut isn't my all time favorite note. If you like warm and cool tones together then try this! I would love to have a big bottle of this in my collection. It's unique and still masculine leaning.

To me its a really nice coconut perfume with the addition sweetness of fig, abroxan and the smoothness of sandalwood smell. It might smell when u first spray it as sunscreen lotion but just because sunscreens choose coconut as a parfum that doesn t mean that this perfume lacks quality or its synthetic and chemical in smell like sunscreens. I would say it’s wonderful for spring maybe more than summer so you can spread those summers vides to the world while wearing it. Longevity its like 3-4 hours and projection not that strong, almost skin scent after 2-3 hours on my skin. I would also say thats its a unisex fragrance.

Tried this today in a store and it reminds a lot of another IM flanker, Bleu Astral but it's less woody and a bit more marine/salty. Nothing revolutionary. Redundant if you have Bleu Astral. Another flanker to get lost on the discounters' shelves in 3..2..1..(sigh) Beautiful bottle, though. The cap has a new design and texture. (diamond-like, not in shape but in surface, with many faces) A note to IM marketing guys: re-release Pulse of the Night and you'll sell a lot of them. This one, not so much, unless millenials start disliking sweet frags and start liking marine-freshies. Don't hold your breath.

This to me is my gym fragrance. Its aromatic, fresh, creamy, woody but honestly not worth it. I just bought it cause I got sold at David Jones because of the sales assistant not because this was actually interested in this fragrance. Definitely not a blind buy, definitely not a signature scent its just a pleasant scent to wear because you like it. I haven't really gotten compliments with this either but then again I only really wear it to the gym and thats about it. Who knows but there are so much better fragrances for the same price to choose from than this.

In my 200+ bottle collection, this multi faceted fragrance stands out. It's not a favourite but it's a fun wear once in a while. There's two layers I get when I wear this fragrance -- there's a constant gentle coconut and fig aroma and another sharper woody scent that pops up and down midway through my wear, which is my favorite part. It projects really nicely and lasts a full work day consistent with my other IM fragrances. Really good value! For my style, it's best suited for daytime sunny wear or as a rainy day mood lifter. Thanks Ms. Lorson!

A Fruity blast of Fig and Citrus with a herbal backbone and a slight woody coconut which dries down into a musky coconut wood scent. Last around 6 hours on me with a close proximity projection. All in all a very tropical feel scent, good for a day out along the coast, and even goes perfect on rainy spring and summer days, the scent becomes more coconut fruity. Gets a few compliments. One of the slightly more unique offerings for summer. This gets a solid 7.5/10 from me. Wear this with with a tropical themed outfit and you're good to go.

@jman2k redundant if you have Bleu Astral? I just got Fusion today and I own Bleu Astral and I find them nothing alike. BA to me is all about lime and leather and Fusion (I'm just testing) is creamy coconut. We all have our point of views based on our perception, I'd like to understand yours better as I find your comparison quite interesting and different to my own and that's part of what I like about this frag hobbie. Cheers

Recently recieved a tester in the post! First impressions are that it smells great, has a big creamy coconut vibe which is very pleasant and unexpected. It definitely is a good-different, however I did have to re-apply after an hour or two as I noticed the longevity isn't that great. If it lasted longer I would definitely be buying a bottle! Maybe I'll have to go test it again in a store before making my final decision

Pleasant. Has a creamy coconut accord in the opening that makes it somewhat easy wearing. A bit like a fig yogurt in the nicest possible way, interspersed with lemony sandalwood/woody tones as it drys down. Inoffensive and refreshingly different. Think this could work for any sex, not sure as to the longevity but it's projecting well in 30+ degrees so no complaints on that front! Beaches and cream.

Coconut and fig opening is beautiful imo, dries down to a pleasant, creamy woody, bordering on aquatic. coconut lingers in and out on my skin. The performance isn’t as much of an issue as people make out. It’s not in your face, loud and cloying. It’s subtle, fresh, breezy and airy, perfect for being by the sea in springtime. Worth having as a sweeter blue scent if you get a good deal.

Tested today, the fig and the coconut are the maine players in this scent, it is slightly creamy and has a little bit of a suntan lotion vibe, it is definitely a summer beach kind of scent, not bad but i wasn't blown away, still bought it because it is summer and it works well in the heat. The scent is also unisex so if you like fig or coconut you might wanna check this one out.

It's a nice fragrance , Soft and Light , Semi Sweet and Aquatic . It opens up with like creamy coconut and sweet Lemon then dry down is creamy woody. The Coconut is dominant in this perfume. This scent is Airy like light breeze in tropical Island ! It is perfect for the spring and summer. I like Fusion d'Issey EDT by Issey Miyake. Longevity is good. Rating : 7.5 / 10

A light, fruity coconut that's not sweet as in perfume-sweet, but has the sweetness of an actual fig, not overripe. I like it! It stand out in the constant stream of men's designer scents that all smell the same. Consider it unisex (as all scents are, but...).

Easy to use.. Light scent profile like some coconut water with a little alcohol blast opening. Overall a nice summer rainy day soothing smell. Performance moderate. Well blended little intense would have been great.

It is pleasant, you don't feel the coconut or the fig, but there is a lot of lemon, sandalwood, rosemary and geranium. Is really clean and attractive, I find it pleasant for men and women.

Long story short, let's wait for the flankers to Fusion. The DNA is pretty nice, but the longevity is mediocre and the projection, well... they forgot to give it any...

It’s a nice shower gel kind of scent that’s perfect for the gym. Not gonna offend anyone with this.

tbh icl ts pmo it doesnt last long but smells okay.

I was disappointed with this scent. Seeing the large number of voices similar to Kenzo Homme Intense, I expected something different. I really like coconut in perfumes, but not in the version in Fusion. The very beginning didn't make a very good impression. As it later turned out, the opening is the best part of this perfume. Fusion opens with sweet coconut milk accompanied by lemon in the background, but it disappears after a few minutes. The fig is not very pronounced, but it probably works with the sandalwood to enhance the creamy accent. So coconut is creamy, very sweet and more feminine. We can smell the familiar scent of summer tanning cosmetics. This accord will never be particularly masculine, but I know men's perfumes in which it is made better and in a more interesting way. This opening isn't the worst, it just doesn't suit my taste. For me it is too bland, mushy and too feminine. I was also surprised by how delicately the Fusion sounds from the very beginning. It doesn't come off the skin very well, it's mild, close to the skin and somewhat indistinct. Okay, the opening is average in my opinion, but it still does the best job in terms of composition and you may like it, but what comes next? Well, nothing interesting. After 10-15 minutes, a lot of ambroxan comes out, which I don't like. Fusion is synthetic from start to finish, but I wouldn't mind if the top notes were followed by a more interesting development. However, we have ambroxan vapors which, together with the breaking through coconut, make the scent irritating and artificial. There is no freshness here either, apart from that sprinkling of citrus in the first minutes. Sometimes I have the impression that there is a bit of a watery atmosphere here, but in my opinion the tones of ambroxan killed this composition. However, looking at the mainstream market, some younger users may like this scent. The parameters are poor. The projection, as I have already mentioned, is intimate and indistinct from the beginning, but the longevity is only 3-4 hours on my skin. I wanted to try the Extreme version, but after trying the basic Fusion my enthusiasm waned, especially since the company's samples are so sparse in terms of juice that you have to buy more than one to get to know the scent well. I really appreciate Nathalie Lorson, but she failed this time. Regal White for Zara in a similar but less sweet style turned out better, with a more interesting composition enriched with vetiver and better parameters. However, if we do not have too high expectations and we like creamy-watery scents with coconut and fig, this is not a bad option. Provided we get it at a good price. I recently bought a 100ml bottle so that I could test Fusion in the spring and summer. For low price it's cool. 6/10
