L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2008

I really like this one. I came across this perfume in 2008 and remembered the bottle. But since it was a limited edition for that summer it was difficult to buy it in 2009 when the new summer edition has already come out. It is fresh in a clean and interesting way. It is blended well so that no particular flower or note stands out. I like the 2008 edition much more than the edition from 2009. For me it seems to be more balanced. I don't get it in Germany anymore and everytime somebody from my family travels to the US needs to get me one bottle.

The-best-summer-fragrance-ever! Sadly it is next to impossible to get it in 2011 :(

I thought I would love this scent and buy it. However, was glad that I sampled it first. Despite its beautiful line illustration, its carnation note was way too much for me. Perhaps it's just my body chemistry with the perfume but this was definitely not for me. Pity really... Loved the illustration.

It's ok but on me, it wears like a strong rosé pear scent that isn't sweet at all. It's not for summer on me. It seems a little cold and icy. Not my fave from Issey and I love this designer. Would not buy again revision... Yuck, at the end of the day it smelled like cat pee

I see how many people like this perfume but something bothers me with this one.i think it's the carnations.In my opinion D&G Light Blue is much better version of the impression that this perfume wants to achieve or also a better choice is Beauty by CK.

I am very disappointed in this. Bought it blindly on the internet and it is too light for me and it does not last at all. I am very disappointed.

I am not a huge fan of light floral fragrances, this however caught my attention. It is very unique, fresh, delicate. In a split of a second it transfers you on a meadow in a middle of a forest. It did create for me this fairy-tale image of springs, waterfalls, light trying to find its way through dense forest, presence of elves, a kind of magic atmosphere. This is why you like some fragrances better than others, isn't it, because they are able to create such images, a certain ambience, bring back memories, because they are more than just a fragrance, one of many out there. To be uite honest I do not detect partucilar flowers in there, the floral notes mix so well, alltogether it is a scent of a garden during spring, when everything is blooming. For me it is combined with fresh air and sparkling water, things that technically do not really have a smell of their own, but which exist in your mind.

I came across this perfume while I was looking for present.It is very fresh, watery and cucumbery, and not particularly my tipe of smell, though those who appreciate fresh and light smells would like it. I didn't notice flowers, for me it was rather vegetable garden with cucumber slices on the top. The best part for me was the line illiustration on the bottle

It's a nice light version of the original. So fresh...ideal for summer.

It's wonderful I love Issey Miyake for this fragrance.
