What does L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme - Shades of Kolam / ロードゥ イッセイ プールオム シェード オブ コーラム smell like?

Most voters recommend spring and summer, and they pick leisure and daily wear most often, with office and sport not far behind. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine, and a fair share call it modern.

Honey pomelo, cardamom and bergamot lead, with a light spice running through the citrus. In the heart, green tea and coriander seed push it towards a green, aquatic feel, while fruity and sweet touches soften the freshness. Cashmeran and cedar give it a woody base.
