L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2017

Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2017 opens with a moderate projection of mostly cypress and grapefruit. The opening has an aquatic, seawater salty vibe, bitter, and pleasant. The coriander and nutmeg are soft spicy touches, similarly, the kiwi and pineapple are faint notes almost completely behind the more noticeable cypress and grapefruit. The grapefruit comes across as a very bitter and slightly dirty citrus note; the cypress brings a noticeable fresh, herbaceous, spicy, and woody note. As the fragrance commences to dry-down, the vetiver becomes more noticeable adding its earthy, grassy, woody, and green touch. The fragrance is linear, most of the featured notes come up as soon as the fragrance is applied and continue into the dry-down, except for the vetiver which intensifies towards the dry. Once Issey Miyake L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme Summer 2017 has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, grapefruit, cypress, and vetiver fragrance with soft spicy accords. The fragrance feels very bitter, breeze, casual, classy, dense, earthy, fresh, grassy, intense, long-lasting, marine, mature, oceanic, seawater/salty-like, sporty, tropical, versatile, woody, and pleasant.

RECOMMENDATION: Issey Miyake L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme Summer 2017 can be purchased for about $45, it is an intense fragrance with great performance, but, because of the vetiver and cypress, it has a classy, mature vibe, which is accentuated by the bitter slightly dirty grapefruit.

beautiful composition by Alberto Morillas where he takes the original L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme DNA and softens the rough edges making it well rounded by adding some freshness to it with the Pineapple and Kiwi notes! The opening blast of grapefruit is definitely reminiscent of the original L'Eau d'Issey and as it settled to the mid notes the pineapple makes is presence felt. A great cheapie for the summer and you can go heavy on the sprays as longevity and silage are not that great so go heavy on the trigger! Great buy for summer and high heat where it gives you that relaxing and casual vibe, The bottle is gorgeous with a lovely blue color and looks pretty to the eye! great recommendation for high heat and casual summer wear! Great bang for your buck summer flanker!!

They did a great job by redoing the last year flanker,it's just amazing!!! ..first blast boom =heaven! Everytime I'm for example in the car with someone, they ask me what I'm wearing cause it's incredible!

It's not sinthetic at all ,DON'T trust the snob noses under! It's still one of the best juices for summer , very fresh fruity acquatic smell, I own 4 bottles so I won't run out of it!

On the test strip, this smells the same as L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme Fraiche, but not on the skin! The Fraiche is much more powerful and lasts longer.

This is intoxicating! I thought the original was amazing, but this has the edge on it.

Exactly the same Scent as 2016- 2015 - 2014 ...That said, It's cheap and no a bad summer fragrance,you know exactly what your getting with this.. you need a good 5-6 sprays to get the most out of it, so when summer 2018 comes around the bottle is long gone, so there is no problem grabbing this one every summer with some new and increasingly worse bottle art. ;)

The original Issey L'Eau with added citrus. Nice smell but nothing new as it's very similar to the original & the other summer editions of Issey L'Eau.

There are only some slightly changes from year to year, so this is only a buy if you are collecting them or its youre first summer scent fom issey.

Very synthetic smell and the grapefruit is overbearing. Not a masterpiece. I do not recommend at all. Has nothing special about it at all. Bland and cheap smell

Another boring citrus scent. Tried yesterday at sephora.

In my opinion, if you own the original this is a bit redundant, but this does make for a perfect gym or beach vacation fragrance. Summer 2017 smells like the original with the addition of a pleasant fruitiness. Still beautifully aquatic and fresh, however I will say this seems to have a slightly weaker projection & sillage - which is why I’ve made this my go-to gym scent. Not a fan of the bottle design and the cap doesn’t snap on very well, but the price is good for a nice clean smelling scent bubble that I can’t imagine would ever offend anyone.

Same as always, not that there's anything wrong with that but if you already own one there's really no point to get the others, the differences aren't noticeable enough

more atrocious bottle print every year :( other than that, same summer frag always :I
