Issey Miyake Fusion d'Issey Eau de Toilette 100ml & 2 x Shower Gel, 50 ml

Product Information

This is a best mix of strong and soft fragrance and lasts really for a long time and as the name suggests it is inspired by a fusion of nature's four elements - air, wate, earth and fire. An interplay of contrasts – between the intense freshness of the deep currents and the heat of magma – is pushed to extremes. I tried this again today for probably the third or fourth time already, for me it's definitely been rewarding to try it more than once, I like it more each time. For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates. Nature now reveals her diverse and creative side with this aromatic fougere fragrance, revealing a new chapter in masculinity and a playful contrast between hot and cold.

Fig nectar and coconut milk add some subtle nuances here in an unexpected way, which are really great. I do spray this quite a bit as the longevity and projection are very low after the initial 10-15 minutes. Disappointed by the longevity (less than 3 hours on me), such unfortunate because I absolutely love this fragrance (way more than the Extreme version). The sandalwood is the dominant scent, then follows a lovely citrus lemon smell with an undertone of patchouli.

On one hand due to the rosemary/ambrox/ISO-E combo, but on the other hand also due to the rather underwhelming performance of both of these.

This one is now to be added to my collection regularly, as it offers me a fresh fragrance, and something different.With top notes of lemon essence, coconut water, heart notes of sandalwood, mineral solar accord and finishing with patchouli essence.
