What does L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Oceanic Expedition smell like?

It opens with yuzu, bergamot and petitgrain in a bright citrus burst, while ginger and Cascalone® add a spicy, green freshness in the heart. Musk, sandalwood and ambroxan settle underneath as a soft, woody base. Aquatic and fruity touches keep the overall impression light and clean.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than leaving a heavy trail. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it suits leisure, daily wear and sport best, with office use not far behind. Most find it masculine and modern. Lanvin L'Homme Sport and Creed Silver Mountain Water have a close profile.
