L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2014

It's very difficult for me to say anything foul about L'Eau D'Issey. Much like other summer editions, this one is fresh, spicy, and energetic. But if I had a complaint (and I do), it's that it feels a bit watered down. Poor longevity. And what the hell are the marine motifs about!? It doesn't smell marine at all! Overall: 4.1 5 Nose-gasm 4 Awsome sauce! 3 Good but not exciting enough 2 Meh! 1 Hell to the no!

I’ve just worn this for the first time and I love it. The aquatic freshness! It’s superb! Keeping this for myself. Hubby will have to get his own. 😁

I almost hate to say it... This smells very similar to last years edition. So close it's hard to tell the difference. I was really hoping it would be a little different like they usually are. I own every single version in the L'Eau d'Issey Summer Collection from 2000 to 2014 and they all smell somewhat different from year to year. That's why I like their summer versions so much! The 2008 version is my favorite! In my opinion, the scent is still awesome! Very fruity and citrus like. I think I also detect some wood in there somewhere. That might be the only difference from last years edition to me. If you like to collect different scents, it might be worth a purchase for the little differences. Perfect for a hot day in the sun! I'd give it a good 7/10.

If 2012 was an emergence from the island forest to the beach, this one from 2014 is a dive into the ocean. Fresh, crisp, but not sharp like other Issey offerings. This comes from the grapefruit substitute, in for the usual yuzu. Its a great change of pace. When I'm in the mood for a smoother, light, aquatic, I usually reach for this. Its longevity isnt the greatest, but on the hottest days, you still know its there after 4-5 hours. Hot summer days, I dont want to be swimming in fragrance soup, this one fits the bill. A solid 7.

I like the smell and bottle design!fresh and fruity summer vibe. Nothing special though. But longevity on this one is awful. At least on me.
