What does L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme - Shade of Lagoon: Day 2, 10:28AM smell like?

It opens sharp and bright with grapefruit, lime juice, ginger and green cardamom. In the heart, three kinds of geranium join galbanum and cypress for a green, lightly floral stretch. The base of cedar, vetiver, ambroxan and musk settles this freshness onto a woody, synthetic footing, with an aquatic feel running through it.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close without crowding anyone. Most voters place it in leisure and daily wear, with sport and office following; evening and nights out come well behind. Voters mostly read it as masculine and modern.
