L'Eau d'Issey Eau d'Ete 2011

I totally agree with this being a twin sister to a long ago discontinued gem - Aquawoman. Summer by Miyake is a perfect summer fragrance but I regeret for I am unable to detect the pear note. Summer feels watery and zesty; like a freshly peeled grapefruit even though it is not listed. The fragrance lacks any sweetness which seemed to have been promised by pear or spiciness as suggested by the presence of carnation in notes description. Long-lasting, Summer possesses fairly good silage for a summer juice in EDT concentration. Worth its price. I am not sure if I repurchase as I was expecting something slightly sweeter.

I have this still. It’s 2022 and I really really don’t want to run out os this. I think I blind bought it in Ebay (i just liked the bottle) and fell in love forever with this. The mix is just floral aquatic perfection for me; probably the carnation is the different note that just separates this from others aquatics in my collection. Once I run out of this I will keep the bottle to just smell it. And I wish I could find something similar today to replace it!

This fabulous fume reminds me of my Trip to Tahiti. I went to Tetiarooa island it was Sunny and Hot. Surrounded by exotic nature, Ivory sand and tropical fruits. This juice takes me straight to this paradisiac place and magical moment,wearing it is like beeing on my "happy place". Pure joy and relaxatation. On me it last quite long as IM fragances use to work on me...

This was my all time favourite summer edition of Issey. None of the subsequent years have come close enough. Don't get me wrong I buy them and they are nice and similar just not nearly as lovely. This was the perfect balance of salty, fresh, crisp, fruity, traditional Issey notes and chypre.

This scent is light and fresh. It reminds me of a stroll through the alhambra with all its flowers and fountains.
