L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Eau de Parfum

While not as delicate and complex as the original EDT, which was a creation of Louis Vuitton's current in-house master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, this release is a very strong one from Issey and the first creation to really interest my nose from the house since the 2021 release of Nuit D'issey Bois Arctic. Sel D'issey was okay, but in my opinion, this is far more compelling. This is a modern interpretation of the original EDT. It loses a lot of the floral and aquatic touches and instead comes off more green and woody. The pepper notes are obvious from the first spray and it features that yuzu or some other natural smelling citrus in the opening. It has a minerality and almost metallic edge in the opening that fades as the wear goes in. In the dry down, that light fur note comes out to play. You can't smell this in the opening but it appears about an hour in. In the end drydown, there a pleasant cedar accord with a mild minty quality that I can't really account for. I don't know how to describe it, but I like it! Performance is much better than any of the true L'eau D'issey PH flankers (these true flankers do not include Noir Ambré or Or Encens). It lasts a decent 7 hours on skin. It will give you above average projection for around 90 minutes, slowly receding as time goes on. This is a fragrance that I would say is best suited to more mature people, likely a man 30+, but a woman could wear it too. It's not too loud, and it's a more introverted fragrance. As far as seasonality, I would say this is probably the most versatile entry in the line. This is safe for all seasons, although may not perform as well in the cold and would likely require a few extra sprays. I like to layer it with the Sport flanker and add a bit more depth to it. All in all it's a beautiful release and a good indication of IM starting to take their men's fragrances more seriously. A trend that ended with Bois Arctic and started again (to a lesser extent with Sel D'issey) prominently with this EDP. Very excited to see IM reproduce some of their clearer classics from the late 2010's as well recently (Noir Ambré, Nuit Bleu Astral, Nuit Parfum). Hopefully my favorite house keeps things going full steam ahead!

Scent: 9.5/10 This is a deeper, woodier version of the edt. It does feel more mature. The notes only list three notes, but you do get a lot of the characteristics of the edt. The yuzu is not as prominent, but i still get it in the opening. I dont know if it is or my brain tricking me lol. It definitely scratches the itch when it comes to wanting a stronger version of the edt. It is a bit greener, denser and a bit sweeter. I personally love it but I would still pick the edt based on scent alone. Performance: 7/10 So it is stronger than the edt. With the edt I only get 30 minutes of moderate projection and maybe 2 hours of longevity. For the edp, I get 2 hours of moderate projection and about 4-5 hours of total longevity. Now, it's not the best but it is an upgrade from the recent edt formulations. And for this kind of a scent profile, I was not expecting a beast. Versatility: 8/10 Pretty versatile. Its office and school safe. You could also use it for the gym. You can wear it pretty much year round but it would be best suited for spring and summer day time use. I think this scent profile is well likeable so you won't go around choking people out. Presentation: 8.5/10 The bottle is simple and classy, as is with a lot of issey miyaki's work. I do prefer the frosted glass look of the edt more, but the edp still looks nice with clear glass. The cap is wooden and I like the detail to show that. It is a 4.2 oz and bc of the flatter bottle shape, it does look and feel a lot larger than other bottles lol. Value: 9/10 I got the 4.2oz on aurafragrance for $62 out the door. For what you're getting in the $50-60 range on discounters this is a no brainer especially if you're a fan of the OG. It's definitely at least worth the try. Overall: 8.4/10 I wanted a stronger version of the edt and this definitely scratches that itch. I actually like that they went with a more modern woody approach. It feels more grown up and it's just as addictive to smell. It's my current daily driver in my collection. It smacks my personal edt's longevity so I'm already happy with it even if it's still just avg. You can always just overspray to get more umph out of it.

Finally the real EDP flanker of OG L'eau D'issey Pour Homme, Wood&Wood flanker not really brings the DNA of the OG. This one still brings the OG DNA in it, I won't tell much about the OG DNA since 1994 it's been used in many Brands till now, So I'm just going to tell the differences that I found. Similarities of the OG is about 80%, the biggest difference is in the opening it's giving sparkle of fresh water feeling(Not salty) that very bright and uplifting, this opening much like the effect in solar lavender flanker, meanwhile the OG got Zesty Fizzy blast of yuzu in the opening (But it's still got a citrus notes in it). This kind of opening is very modern for me.😁 The mid and dry down is where the DNA of Woody Spicy that's similar, but here's the difference the EDP got a warm aquatic that giving a slight dark feeling of aquatic, meanwhile the OG got a kinda bright aquatic felling with slight flowery touch(old classic vibes). This kind of scent in EDP giving me more masculine and serious vibes rather than the OG.(Maybe because it's because oh the Balsam Fir notes it's giving? I never smell balsam fir before) Conclusion of the this L'eau D'issey Pour Homme EDP flanker, even it tooks away the flowery part it's became a Modernized and Classy of 1994 OG DNA, and giving it a slightly Dark Warm Aquatic twist that makes it into more Masculine Serious rather than the OG. Occasion for Black Tie Formal Event , Daily , Date Night. But I think not for Gym🤔 and it's doesn't have summer vacation vibes like Le Sel D'issey giving. It's works very well in full AirCon condition, supposed to be All year round of scent profile Longevity in this i can get about solid 9hrs😍, Projection pretty good in the first 3hrs, the sillage just moderate for this kind of aquatic fragrance it's very good i think. Will Issey Miyake also create an Elixir flanker just like other brands, curious about it.

Okay so This smells amazing - I love it. To me this smells like a SMOKEY LEMONADE. It has a lovely refreshing lemonadey smell, but then there’s also this smokiness to it, which gives it a mature vibe... it’s really unique. I would think that incense would be a note in this for sure! Unfortunately though, this smell only lasts and is radiant for 1-2 hours, before it disappears and the scent turns into a soft skin scent of something smooth, watery and slightly lemony for the next 3 hours... The first 1-2 hours of this are so good though, if only it lasted longer! I think it smells so good though that I’ll accept that performance and get it :’) maybe I’ll carry it around and respray during the day ! EDIT: So I've bought and worn this a few times - and actually I'd say that initial smell lasts and projects for about 2-3 hours, and then it becomes softer and closer to the skin for the next 4-5 hours! So the total longevity is probably around 8 hours ! So honestly, I'm not going to complain about the performance - also given that this is a fresher scent, I'd actually even say it's got good performance! And I do think this is the case with most fragrances anyway - they project well for the first few hours, and then become closer to the skin afterwards! I do catch whiffs of this throughout the wear, and the way it dries down and changes is also lovely - soft florals appear in the dry down. Beauuutiful. Love this.

I found that I do like woody scents if they're softs. The balsamic compound on this it's very attractive and gets to the parfum that heaviness and rich, with certain sweetness without being cloying. At first (weeks actually) it doesn't seems to me anything like the original EDT... There were days of rain weather where I could actually found SOME FRUITY JUICY deep in the EDP, very similar to the mix of tangerine & yuzu that shows up in my skin when past +6h (EDT). I was aware of this notes were specially when my skin got wet by the rain, and then I noticed in the shower too... So, in not saying there's Yuzu, or any citric, but I could smell the vibe. For me, very last longer BUT an absolute skin scent. I'm aware that people can notice it but just when I say hello to them closely. This kinda triggered me because if wasn't for the SALE, it would be a lot of money for a scent which cannot sillage beyond my clothes. Disclaimer, I don't know if it's like this, there's no one who said me otherwise about this yet. Hopefully, people loves it in silence like me, because it's not, by any chance, heavy or disgusting. I would spray it like 20 times per day. Absolutely gorgeous.

L'Eau d' Issey Miyake Eau de Parfum (EDP) is a citrusy, floral, and woody fragrance. It has a citrusy, harsh, and sweet opening, very synthetic. I confess I didn't enjoy this phase very much, however, as time passes, the citrus tones fade a bit, leaving a pleasant floral and woody, almost soapy sensation. It retains some of the DNA of the original and classic L'Eau d'Issey, but now with a greater emphasis on woody accords and is slightly sweeter, compared to the original, which is more citrusy and aromatic. I liked the drydown much more than the opening. This EDP version is a fragrance that could adapt to almost any season, being suitable for work, casual, and even formal settings. Its longevity has been good; it lasted between 8 and 9 hours on me, with a regular sillage. In short, I can personally say that is one of the most I had liked it this 2025, but I must let the first few minutes of the opening go by, which weren't pleasant for me. Still, I think it's an interesting scent and a continuation of the L'Eau d'Issey line. As usual, I don't recommend buying it blind; go try it first and form your own opinion.

A true flanker. And a damn good one at that. I don't think you can be a fan of the OG and not be a fan of this. I've gone through countless bottles of the OG, since it first came out many years ago. And with every reformulation, it changed a bit, but I never stopped loving it. This EDP has the same energy to my nose, minus the bitterness of the yuzu (which I loved). But, I don't find myself missing it, somehow. I know the Issey purists will say 'it isn't Issey if there is no yuzu', but I disagree. In a way, I almost feel as though this advances the line a bit, the peppery woodiness still retains its 'watery' nature. I don't know how they did it, but it works for me. Performance is average, which is a step up from the last few revisions of the EDT for sure. I will always have a bottle of the EDT in my collection, but I think this one will be getting more regular time in the rotation. And at discounters, it is a steal. Just my take. I say if you like the OG, or the house in general, give this one a try.

This is the best flanker they have released in YEARS! Finally, a real release after the boring Wood and Wood, Eau and Cedar, Vetiver , and Solar Lavender. I have all four of the previous flankers and they are all so tired and generic, weak performance as well. Don't be mislead by the notes, this is a very complex concoction. Reminds me of a Parfum version of the OG with some nuances of the Sport flanker, but it's very rich and a bit dark. It sounds crazy, but this honestly smells kind of like Or Encens minus the rose and Incense, you have to get your nose on it to understand what I mean. It's beautiful and the best release from the house since Nuit D'issey Bois Arctic. Sel D'issey was very good, but this is great! Can't wait to get a full bottle, just been playing around with a few test vials. This is a must have for any fan of the house. I think this is also Fall/Winter safe. Easy 8+ hours longevity, good projection in the first few hours, masculine, but a women could pull this off. 9/10 release!

It has a whisper of the EDT in it, but only a whisper. This is a much more masculine take rather than the more unisex EDT version. The woods and fir mixed in with the pepper makes this a more dry composition. It's actually quite good. The sweet note in there (the whisper of the yuzu from the original EDT) smells more synthetic in this to my nose. I guess that is the trade off. Overall, it's a pretty great scent. Not bad at all. The sweetness is the worst part for me because it just doesn't come close to that lovely Yuzu from the EDT. If they had kept the more natural Yuzu from the original this would have been a 10/10 flanker. EDIT: After weeks of testing, I now get it. Honestly, this is a really great flanker. Projects crazy well compared to the original and smells fantastic. The yuzu note is coming out much more clear now. I'm going to put my foot in my mouth and say this is better than I originally thought. 8/10 fragrance from Issey Miyake, well done. I gotta say, this one grows on you.

People should really stop posting review when it's clear that they never put their nose near the thing. It's really annoying, especially it's obvious that issey miyake don't advertised all the ingredients. Just from reading the packaging, I can tell you this have the oil of lemon, bergamot, juniper, lavender, geranium, sandalwood, cinnamon, patchouli, etc, among other aroma chemicals. The fragrance itself is pretty nice. The opening is very similar to the original, but a bit darker and smoother. There might even be some some yuzu sourness here but very subdued. As it dries down it kinda remind me of wood and wood. Kinda dried fruity and balsamic with some woodiness. And there's a little salty wateriness throughout the whole composition. Overall it's a nice fragrance, a bit boring as in nothing really standing out or extraordinary but still unique in a way. It smells very natural and high quality. It definitely smells like a L'eau D'issey and a worthy flanker.

To me this perfume smells really nice, opens fresh and a little citrusy and I could see myself standing on an ocean shore listening to the sound of crashing waves while the scent developed more and more into sort of a creamy fresh mixture that was slightly sweet too. I didn't get the wood accord all that much as for me the freshness and airness overpowered it (but pleasantly!). The drydown smells VERY similar to Oxygene by lanvin (the for women version with a laconic note) since it shares the sweet watery creaminess. I didn't have the chance to smell the original EDT but this has become one of my favorite fresh summer scents even though I'd probably wear the Oxygene more since it's almost one quarter (fifth depending on where you buy it) of the price of this fragrance. @otteromkram they could've done that, it was a clear transparent liquid for me

First of all, to the lovers of the original L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, if you're expecting the EDP version to be just a stronger or lighter twist on the OG, think again. This EDP brings a different character: it's woody, fresh spicy, and aromatic, while the OG leans more toward citrus. I find the EDP more versatile overall. The fresh spicy opening gives off an energetic vibe, and the woody notes create the sensation of walking through a forest of cedar and pine trees. I personally really enjoy it. What I appreciate about this house is the distinct character and uniqueness found in their fragrances. Unlike many others, they don’t take the easy way by simply imitating popular scents from well-known brands. Instead, they stay true to their own creative vision.

Great fragrance. I wasn't a fan of the original l'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, but the EdP adds some much needed dimensionality for me. The original is still there, but more as a support mechanism to the spicy pepper, aromatic fir, and soft cedar. I can wear this all day and it isn't overwhelming, which i couldn't do with the original. Performance and projection are on par with the original. It's a Love from me and I'm almost considering a backup. Easy reach for most seasons and occasions. It also doesn't feel like redundant to own both, but get a sample first if you're on the fence. (This fragrance should be at least a 4.0 on average, but currently sits below that at 3.76 (2025-03-29, 37 votes), probably because some are comparing it to the original.)

Really, really love this. In addition to the listed notes I think there's a citrus that intermingles with all the pepper and wood accords and peaks at the beginning of the dry down. That gives way to photorealistic frankincense and myrrh and carries through to the well-balanced old wood base. For me it triggers many vivid sensory memories and evokes a good deal of nostalgia. It simulteneously brings me back to Sunday mass at Catholic church during my adolescence and reminds me of walking into antique shophouses around Bangkok or exploring the old wood carving shops in Kathmandu. I'll take that kind of evocation over something that just smells nice any day of the week, so this is a clear winner for me.

Ah, this is simply lovely. It reminds me of the first time when I sprayed the Fraiche version, long time ago. Together with Borotalco roll-on, during the sunny Autumn, the feeling that I got was so calmly, yet very invigorating, like I could pass through anything while wearing this combo. It's like that Zen feeling you got, when you are unbothered at such a high level that you just smile and let go at whatever comes in your way. Le sel and this one are my go to fragrances this year, that's for sure. And while I had a long break from the designer category, this segment comes very close to niche in the last years. Congratulations to Issey Miyake for giving us those beauties in the last years!

Very nice and fresh scent. Definitely a different scent than the original edt while still having some similarities. Not as floral as the original and it unfortunately lacks the yuzu as well. This instead goes a more peppery and woody direction which definitely feels more modern. Performance also seems better than current batches of the edt. Even with all of its differences it still captures the overall watery essence seen in the edt and other Issey Miyake fragrances. This is definitely what the edt would smell like if it was released today and I do find myself reaching for this one more often due to its wearability and freshness.

How is there no yuzu or lemon and bergamot listed in the notes, because this is super fresh as the original. It's very good and I am really impressed by this fragrance. L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Eau de Parfum smells almost identical to the original L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme from the 90's but this EDP is longer lasting which is awesome. Only difference except from the better longevity is that this version has the twist of pepper and fir, but it's the fresh citrus notes that are most dominating even though they are not listed in the notes somehow.

Ok let me just get this off my chest , it performs better than the CURRENT EDT , people on here saying the EDT out performs it must have a 15-20 year old bottle because the latest batches do not last. This however is a great modern take and i get at least 1.5 hours of strong projection and 6 hours on skin. Although it has some similarities to the EDT as far as scent profile it never was marketed to be the same. On the official issey webiste that is very clear. Thats not a bad thing as we needed something new..... 8.5/10

I just wanted to add an update after a few more wears of this. The closest thing I can compare this to is the legendary L'eau D'issey Noir Absolu flanker from 2011. I own a bottle of that and have been dreading the day when it runs dry. If you got Noir Absolu and take out some of the sweet orange and the light touch of nutmeg, but add in bergamot and some rich balsam sap you would get LDPH EDP. This is so good, and I think the low reviews for this are likely from people that haven't even smelled it yet.

I fell in love with this. Normally i don't even like unisex fragrances and lean to very feminine but this had me ..love it on the guys love it on myself. Definitely smell fresh ginger like note in it despite not in description. I think thats what had me. The fresh gingerlike spiciness reminds me of my beloved max mara max mara. And the drydown is smooth. I experiment with layering so far burberry goddess combines really nice and ads warmth to it.

Talking of solid release this one is it, from the OG edt to this edp masterpiece, and still the DNA is still there, despite the 3 note mentioned, a lot is playing in the background,fainted yuzu fizzy lemony , then the deep woody, more nature approach, this is the most powerful fresh fragrance, vibrant like the ocean energy, nostalgic kinda vybe , simple but complicated, character and class wrapped in a bottle . I call it modern timeless

I blind bought this fragrance about four months ago. At first, I was skeptical of its peppery opening as I was new to fragrances, but as I applied it more and more on my body, I slowly began to fall in love with it. I get a spicy, woody, and sort of nutmeg scent that all blends well to create this sophisticated and masculine scent.

I was never a believer in calm and tranquil fragrances but when I first sprayed this it gave me a jolt of energy then about 30 minutes later it became Still, it became calm and quite meditative in a sense...been sniffing my wrist all day since than thinking of how many bottles of this I’ll go through in my lifetime

This one is very nice. Besides the notes pyramid, I also get a lot of seawater/salt accords. imo, It's not redundant to own both this and the original. You could say that this one is the fall/winter version of the original, though you absolutely can wear this in warm weather. A solid Release from Issey Miyake.

Honestly my favourite daytime summer fragrance I ever smelled. Instantly copped this when I smelled it in store. I am praying they do not discontinue this any time soon. Got me hella compliments during summer. The cedar in the dry down is perfectly done. Not too strong, not too weak.

There are yuzu in this, no question about it. The three notes presented on Fragrantica is just a gimmick that a lot of brands are going with these days. A whole bunch of citruses in this phenomenal fragrance. I will say it’s a combo of the original and the Intense version.

Relatable to the OG, but more woody on the dry down and less citrus in the opening. I haven't worn the OG for a while but my impression is that it is a harder hitter. Nevertheless I like the EDP a lot, but it's not a love unfortunately.

I like the opening but the dry down is where this fragrance really shines. The woody notes remind me of Dior Homme Sport 2021 and the longevity is excellent for a freshie. Glad I have it.

Does anyone else's juice appear to have a purplish tint to it? I almost feel like I got a mislabeled Solar Lavender, but just want to be sure that it's supposed to have some color.

I absolutely despise sel d’issey but this one... IT’S amazing! Beautiful aquatic fragrance that somehow reminds me of Black Orchid parfum in the dry down. It’s perfectly unisexe

It’s really nice and versatile. I bought for my dad. The og is too citrusy for his taste. Hope he will like it as much as I do.

Addictive! Very well executed! High quality ingredients (as always with Issey Miyake) Respect! いつものように、マエストロによる驚くべき香水 🙏

saying this is related to the EDT is like saying luke skywalker and darth vader are related, like YEs they are but they took completely different paths. since i also feel the description doesn’t suffice im going to try describe it. i would describe it as lemony opening (not sour or close to the strength of the EDT), orangey soap(?), something from the forest and a salty oceany-ness. it blends all this in a way that is more vision inducing than the EDT and a way that is almost edible, like a otherworldly food youve not tried yet. i get visions of being isolated in a deep ocean, tall tree forest or being in a fancy office / high rise minimal apartment. it settles into a salty masculine musk that is 30% forest and 70% ocean. if you told me this was the le sel d'issey edp rather than l’eau d’Issey edp id be more inclined to believe you. this is way less citrus than the EDT, has no flowers, is more woody and has an emphasis on the salty ocean

3 note breakdown...oh dear. Opens sweet, fresh and a little fruity. Has an aquatic edge but is "icey" more than anything, with crisp peppermint and ozonic notes. It's cool, brisk, (smells exactly like a Fox's Glacier Mint.) Becomes more aromatic with vetiver and pine aromas, but remains cool, fresh and minty. Turns grassy, has more coniferous notes. Does resemble a "blue" shower-gel at times but in a pleasant, clean way. Performance is fine, projection moderate, lasts as a faint skin scent until the following morning. I'd call it unisex, would suit any age but more of a day scent, and will work best in the heat. Great for summer. It's different enough to the EDT to warrant getting it, but has enough resemblance to satisfy core fans. Personally I feel it could have worked better as a flanker, maybe titled "Glacier" or "iced," something like that? It did put me in mind of YSL Y Iced Cologne.

Seems like they modernized and gave L’Eau D’Issey a bit of a kick, but without overdoing it or turning it into something generic. The opening is immediately recognizable, still beautifully fresh and crystalline, albeit slightly rounder, and less Yuzu forward, and as you expect it to become a sweet, perhaps more leathery version of of the original, it reveals a rather unusual Sichuan pepper note that brings some real heat into the equation. The original version already had a bit of spice, so it’s no surprise that it works really well, but sichuan is a pretty rare note in mainstream perfumery and it’s an interesting choice here, it brings some Chinese influence to a creation that was originally inspired by Japan’s natural beauty, giving it more presence without forgetting what made it work so well in the first place.

At first it was just an OK but I tried this a second time and got a sample, since then I quite like it. For me it gives a nod to the original but this is NOT simply an EDP version of the original, timeless masterpiece l'Eau d'Issey pour Homme EDT. I feel like this is a less citrus forward and more dressed up fragrance, there are some different floral aspects here which make me think of something like Prada l'Homme (although they are obviously different fragrances). Staying power is good for me. Not a bad release perhaps but personally I would've called it something else. I find the three-note trend quite misleading with this as I don't find it to be a strong 'fir' fragrance at all. Maybe I just need more time with it 🤔 In any case, to my nose this lacks the magic of the original EDT even if it is very pleasant.

BY OUR POWERS COMBINED... Honestly just layer this with the original EDT and you have a near perfect scent. It's a shame this isn't an all-in-one package but you still get the great woody + safron/lotus smell of the original with much much longer longevity. As others have said, you really don't get the OG yuzu note BUT it kinda works out perfect because for me, the yuzu note of the EDT is the only that actually still projects after an hour, so - stack em up and you honestly have something closer to the original.

A masculine, crisp, and formal scent - darker, greener, woodier, and less delicate version of the EdT. It opens with a pepper note, making it less of a citrus explosion compared to the EdT. While the floral and subtle watery qualities are still present (not all notes are listed for sure), the fir note becomes more prominent as it dries down. It evokes the imagery of a deep evergreen forest on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Ultimately, it balances a modern feel with an old-school vibe. 7/10

Tested it at the shop side by side with the original. Each 2 sprays at the back of each hand. Edp is a bit less (bitter) citrusy and a bit more smooth/creamy. Performance was slight worse than the original. To me it smelt really pleasant and nice, not at all synthetic. If it had strong performance i would have gone back the same day and bought it but to me the price does not justify a buy at the moment.

It has a sweet detergent smell for the first two hours. While it might be pleasant in the air, it comes across as a bit chemically when I smell it on my skin. It lacks the finesse of the original, which manages to create a very natural smelling fragrance at an affordable price. Also the Yuzu note is MIA. Maybe corporate thinks yuzu is dated. IMO it isn't issey miyake if there is no yuzu

This is reminiscent of the the original EDT. There are other fragrance review sites that list a few more notes than the 3 mentioned here (as well as the Issey Miyake website). The other notes listed are grapefruit (unsweetened) which could be in similitude to the yuzu, as well water lily also in the original EDT. Love the fir balsam note, really unique in this rendition.

Great work scent, classy, subtle, very clean. Almost soapy in the way a lot of prada scents are. I know it's not listed, but I'm definitely getting lavender. Moderate staying power and sillage, but that's what I want in a professional fragrance. Overall a nice pickup at discounter prices, but nothing magical. 8.1/10, I'll revisit after a few more full wears.

The opening is not refreshing as the EDT, to me I can feel tiny bit of yuzu, but it's almost not there. It smells quite soft, and slightly salty. But the dry down is very similar to the EDT, or slightly better. The overall longevity is similar. I like this one, and I bought it after trying it, but I think I still like the EDT and sport EDT more in overall.

Was hoping for something a little stronger and bolder than the EDT. It smells good but I like the original better. Only slightly similar to my nose. A lot more of an aquatic forest vibe VS the yuzu citrus spice vibe from the original. Also sadly this disappears on my skin within a few hours. Original EDT has slightly better longevity and projection so far.

fresh and piney masculine scent, very interesting and elegant combo, has a bitter woodiness that makes it different from most masculine fresh scents. overall very pleasant and fresh in a mature unique way! good option if you're tired of the typical lemony masculine freshies that often feel juvenile and generic 7/10

I tried it today! Basically it's the OG EDT with a fir balsam infusion. But it's 95% the same as the OG. Probably a bit more longlasting. I prefer the OG since it has a bit more nuances but this is really good too. Solar Lavender it's probably my second favorite.

This scent gives me two distinct vibes — one feels like being deep in the woods surrounded by pine trees, and the other reminds me of relaxing by saltwater on a beach. It’s an incredibly easy wear for spring and summer, especially for outdoor occasions.

Balsam Fir? I am surely not the biggest Issey fan out there but the notes looks promising. I wish it will be something like wood and wood but stronger, I want an Issey suitable for winter except Polaris please.

Sichuan pepper is amazing spicy fragrance and try to Chinese spice in perfume and fresh in mid and modern fragrance with classic cedar-wood in longevity

I have to say the longevity of this is really amazing. If you find this on a discounter - get it!
