L'Eau D'Issey Pure Petale De Nectar

If you like the smell of honey and pears, this perfume will probably make you fall in love with it. Imagine a super juicy, sweet, perfectly ripe pear. You cut it in half and drizzle it with honey (not thick honey, but the liquid kind) and spread it over the freshly cut pear. That is exactly what this perfume smells like. It is such a juicy and sweet combination that you can almost taste it.

the edt is sooo beautiful, smells like fresh white flowers on a spring day… i also pick up a bergamot note that gives a crisp feeling to it. i can’t really smell the honey, pear or rose but nonetheless it’s a very clean and intimate scent. the longevity and the sillage is not very good just like other issey miyake fragrances but enough for the warmer months.

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!

I love this smell on a woman, I get a rich flowery but not rosey opening mixed with a pleasant fruit and honey smell. It's fairly lasting but the juiciness is gone pretty quickly. I get white flower notes a bit more than rose to be honest. The dry down has a pleasant soft woody note, but you have to get up close.

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.
