Good grief, would they PLEASE stop calling all their perfumes L’EAU D’ISSEY?
It is annoying. But the redundant flanker names are good to at least give me the green light to keep on driving by: Nothing to see here! Move along!
LOL…I don’t think so. These must sell, they do several flankers a year.
You are right and i do have to say the Issey has some of the nicer flankers
When they didn’t it was just called “a scent” – don’t know what’s more confusing.
Exactly!
I like the original… it was my first adult perfume purchase. I collect the flankers, and this one sounds interesting (some were repurposed as room sprays).
I’ve always passed by the Issey Miyake fragrances for some reason. I haven’t even smelled them because I am under the impression that they are very light fragrances, no?
Sort of light but “persistent.”
They are persistent, and rather than actually light, more “water”-y
The wood bottles look cool. I liked the concrete ones they did last year too.
I think I was about 18 when I got L’Eau D’Issey, it’s one of my first adult purchases too. It’s not bad when most of my friends were wearing the latest sexy-over-the-top-sweet-fruity concoctions. I can’t wear it now though, it’s simply not me anymore
“L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme Edition Bois is a collector bottle of the original fragrance.”
WHAT???
All the men get is a fancy bottle?
Couldn’t they make at least the effort to add an extra drop of something? Anything!!!
The fragrance industry is certainly sadistic towards men.
I guess they thought it already had enough wood??
Ooooooh! Robin!
I thought this was a family blog!!!
LOL…it was, it was…and so of course I did not even think of that. Duh.
I’ll at least give it a sniff. I liked the original, way back when (haven’t smelled it for so many years now, I don’t know what I’d think of it these days), and handled right, I really like mimosa.
Yes, this one could be nice.
The Issey Miyake scents and I are no friends. I often tried it, but it was always a no.
Oh well.
My problem with all the Issey Mikayes is that I can’t keep them straight: too many I’s and L’s and Eau’s and apostrophes!
more fire less water : P
Ha!
