L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2016

I'd chased after the fabled 2009 edition for so long. I'd had it when it first came out and this scent was my signature for the longest time. I'd bought the first bottle and a second after falling in love with it. Of course it's 2018 now and almost a decade since that magical fragrance has been first brought to the world! So I was finding them at such high prices and very unsure of spending so much and eventually being ripped off. I've seen people thinking they're getting the 2009 from the seller and receiving a different year. I'd heard a lot of good things and really read the bad reviews of this one as well, but I ultimately decided to give this a try. It's very close! I can still pick up that some things are missing, but it did give me that nostalgic feeling of remembering what the 2009 was. I remember the 2010 being a letdown for me back then. I'm very happy with this scent and can't wait for the warmer months to wear this out! For me the scent is a 7/10 whereas the legendary 2009 was a 9/10. For me it would have to be earth shattering for a 10/10, so this fragrance isn't so bad! Unfortunately like all good things and such. :)

Not a big fan of citrus-aromatic fragrances, but I do really enjoy my bottle of Summer 2013 when the weather gets hot. To me Summer 2016 is similar to their Summer 2013 offering, with subtle difference, but I love love 'em both. This fragrances lasts 4-5 hour son my skin and stays pretty close to skin after the first 30-minutes, which is fine for this kind of scent. Overall, I love how this fragrance smells on a hot Summer day; it's an excellent scent.

This does smell like the original... It does have a little more bottom end umph to it lol... Stronger off the top as well. I feel this is more of a masculine scent compared to the original and is a complete winner for the current online prices (under $30 dollars US for 125 ml's). Blind buy worthy (if you like the original and don't mind redundancy). Enjoy!

Issey Summer 2016 is the way to go! Great longevity for a summer scent with a beautiful pineapple accord to boot! Issey's best summer yet! I'm getting a couple of these for years to come.
