L'Eau D'Issey Pure Petale de Nectar

In my opinion, L'Eau D'Issey Pure Petale de Nectar is the best flanker of the L’EAu d’Issey Pure line. I have or had other versions, but this Petale de Nectar truly smells like a nectar of roses and pear. It’s sweet without being tooth rotting sweet, rosy in a youthful way, warm and soft, fruity, juicy. It’s the most rich, deep and intense flanker of this line. More appropriate for cooler or spring/fall weather, since it’s so powerful and leaning more on the floral gourmand profile. The undeniable stars of the scent are rose and honey. If you like these two notes maxed out in your petfume, it’s practically impossible not to like L'Eau D'Issey Pure Petale de Nectar. Hope it never gets discontinued since it’s so affordable, good performer and kind of unique outside the Pure line. I am not really craving rose lately, but I absolutely adore this. I would 100% recommend it to anyone who loves a sweet rose scent!

People have been recommending the l'eau de Issey range of fragrances to me for a while. I only have a 1ml sample of this one but wow, this has some of my favourite notes, honey, pear, rose, it's almost edible, along with the saltiness from the ambergris. I always think that salt plus rose is reminiscent of peonies, another of my favourites! My understanding of this range is that it has an aquatic DNA and this one retains that with the salty note. It's not long lasting, but ok at 3 hours for an eau de toilette with decent projection initially. I'd definitely like to try more this range.

Disclaimer! The EDT and EDP are totally different. (I am in love with the EDT version, and totally hate the EDP) The EDT is Sweet woodiness, clean and cozy, romantic. I got compliments from male friends, they behaved like hummingbirds and wanted to be around perceiving the perfume. If you love wooden warm notes, this is an absolute that you should have on your list. A very defined and lovely fragrance. Regarding the EDP, all the notes are spoiled, painful to the nose and brain, incredibly disturbing.

I just stumbled across this at Nordstrom rack & decided to purchase based on the notes. I am really pleasantly surprised! Juicy fruity pear & honey with a woody base perfect for casual/day time wear. While there isn't a ton of sillage - I applied this scent before going to bed & definitely still smelled in on my skin & pj's in the morning. I think this would be perfect for a hot summer day. I am not big on sweet/fruity scents but find this to be really pleasant & easy to wear.

The honey, pear, rose combo is really addictive and feminine. It is a sweet fragrance but I prefer this EDT version to the EDP (Pure Nectar) which is denser and a bit too sweet for me. This lasts over 8 hours on my skin with arms length projection. It has a beautiful scent bubble. IMO, this has a smiliar vibe to Lancome Idol. Idol would be the younger, carefree sister and this would be the bolder older sister. I think it's worth giving a try.
