What does L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Eau d'Été Summer Edition 2009 smell like?

It has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated moderate, though that rests on only a handful of votes. The fresh, aquatic tone suits warm days, and it reads clearly masculine.

Citrus freshness leads, softened by a floral and green character. Thyme, coriander and cypress deepen the green side, while cinnamon, nutmeg and saffron add a spicy warmth. Sandalwood, vetiver and musk form a woody base. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Eau d'Été Summer Edition 2005 and Edition Bois have a close profile.
