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

Taken as a whole, it leans on citrus: finger lime and grapefruit zest give it a bright, lightly fruity snap. Nootka cypress adds a woody backbone, while Hivernal® rounds out the cool picture. Floral and green accords stay in the background, and the fougère touch keeps it clean.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the small number of votes makes that a loose read. It is classed as a men's fragrance and suits warm days, post-workout wear or easy everyday use. Atelier des Ors Pomelo Riviera and Kilian Water Calligraphy have a close profile.
