L'Eau D'Issey Pure

Love this new version ! So clean and fresh. This new Edt has a nice twist. It's less moist and less wet compared to the "pure EDP " it almost has a slight powdery note added as well as more musk. It's drier and lost some of the classic DNA ,it's very modern and clean with a citrus note added , an orange citrus note ,,,, it's not as long lasting as the more flowery oceanic and moist EDP .

For me its a strong aquatic jasmine on first spray! As time passes the scent is still there! It gets slightly powdery but lily and jasmine are still doing great. I love scents with jasmine and this is a nice one. It doesn't have that fake floral smell to it. But two sprays are enough as I think it is quite a strong scent for a floral aquatic.

To my nose, this scent is the greenest of greens. It recalls wet forests and summer rain storms. I like it, but not as much as I had hoped. I was expecting more heady floral notes, but all I smell is water and wood (and I could swear Lily of the Valley, though it's not listed.) Very fresh and (so far) long lasting.

Faint resemblances to the original. This is more creamy, cashmerean and floral. Definitely aquatic but I don't think it's salty. On skin it latches on and actually reminds me of a deo called Mum. This is definitely not a loud scent. Just close proximity only.

These are the notes of the EdP, not the EdT. The EdT has citrus in it as well and, although it smells similar, is not as marine as the EdP.
