L'Eau d'Issey Eau Essentielle

It opens cool and juicy, with aquatic notes, nashi pear and bergamot giving a lightly fruity freshness. In the heart, orange blossom absolute and jasmine add a soft floral touch. The base of musk, cedarwood and amber keeps it clean and warm.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin without being intrusive. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads feminine and modern. Carner Sal y Limón and La Rive Glow have a close profile.
