L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme

This was my first non-Zara fragrance. I like the smell. I've seen people saying this is like something old people wear and that's probably because this came out a million years ago, but if anything, that only makes it seem better. I didn't feel like an old guy while I had it. It's also pretty cheap. However, what keeps it from that S tier for me is the performance. It really doesn't last long, which you shouldn't really expect from a citrus fragrance, but hey, there's always something. I believe this is a great start for someone who's just getting into fragrances as it's a really pleasant smell and it's cheap, so if you want a office friendly, spring-summer fragrance that doesn't really try too hard and gets the job done, this might be for you.

I have been sleeping on Issey Miyake my whole life, and i should be ashamed of myself lol. I think out of all the most popular 90s fragrances...this perhaps may be the most interesting. That Yuzu note makes it feel different than all the usual suspects as far as citrus notes. Between this and Le Sel D'Issey im very intrigued in this house now. This is really cheap as well yet even newer bottles smell great to me. For a fragrance that comes off feeling extremely fresh and zesty, theres ALOT going on here. That note list isnt just b.s., you can pick up most of these notes upon smelling and analyzing. I also personally get pretty good performance, above what id usually expect from a freshie.

Just tried this fragrance for the first time. WOW… I’m in love! Hard to believe this came out in 1994 because it has stood the test of time and feels unbelievably modern. This was perfumed by the same gentleman who went on to create Imagination and it feels like the foundation for what Imagination would become is in this fragrance. You get some of those similar citrus notes along with the aquatic vibe that Acqua Di Gio became famous for. This is a masterpiece that can be worn any day and any occasion and will never feel out of place!

Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme is a personal favorite of mine. I really like the tart, citrusy opening, which over time transitions into a clean, woody scent, and it reliably lasts a long time on the skin. Due to its slightly soapy, 'fresh out of the shower' character, it is perfect for me for daytime and the office – even in winter. It delivers those minimalist notes that I truly look for in a perfume. For evening, more elegant occasions, however, it is too light and clean; it lacks a bit of darker depth then.

Absolute masterpiece! Gorgeous citrus, lovely watery accord, calming florals, balanced spices, and a cool, fresh, musky base. It seems to shapeshift. Some days I get more of certain notes than others. Heat and cold definitely bring out different accords. It's effortless, easy to wear, perfect for any occasion. A lovely mood booster at work. I can't say enough good things about this fragrance! It does not smell dated in the slightest. Do yourself a favor, and at least try this one; every fraghead should.
