L'Eau d'Issey Summer 2017

I have and love this summer flanker <3 I actually ration it out because it was a limited edition and it is so evocative of an important time in my life that I was going through. To me, this scent is one of the best fruity aquatics I've had the pleasure of smelling, its predominantly aquatic notes with woodsy notes and some litchi revolving around a very strong grapefruit note, it smells fresh, uplifting and clean without being sterile or screechy, when it settles down there is shared DNA with the original L'eau D'issey, so while it does feel new and fresh, it has an air of familiarity to it as well. The longevity is great; 4 sprays will last me 7 hours and the silage is moderate, its not super strong but enough to gather compliments, I'll be sad when my bottle finally runs out!

Wonderfull fresh and cool scent. Smells like a fresh summer wind at the beach. I detect nothing tropical at all. I actually feels it emulates the fresh Scandinavian seaside. It smells more like the wawes breaking on to the beach on a cool summerday when a fresh wind is blowing. It smeels like fresh surf and cool wind. Not tropical at all. Works well on hot and humid days, but needs a little refreshing after 4-6 hours. Stays on clothes for a long time. I love it!

Another beautiful issey Not a fruity tootie Watery floral, wet like the original. A delight

Another flanker by Issey Miyake... it’s a pretty aquatic floral scent, I didn’t find anything fruity in it. I think it smells as if it has lotus notes in it. It’s a very fresh and pleasant smell, but not groundbreaking. They keep making this type of scents every year. Lasts for 5-6 hours but it becomes a skin scent.

Lucky to find old stock of this gorgeous scent. It’s Issey DNA for sure but also a beautiful, gentle ocean. I immediately get SE Asian spa hotel on the opening but then it settles in salty water very quickly. I do get citrus too. Undertones of something decaying but it a good way. Evokes days at the beach!
