What does L'Eau d'Issey Pure (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with Maritima® and ambergris, giving a clean, sea-like air. In the heart, Damask rose, lily of the valley, orange blossom and jasmine come forward, while citrus and green accords keep it bright and a soft sweetness slips in. Cashmeran settles the base into a light woody finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding the room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. It reads feminine. Clean Shower Fresh and Moschino Toy 2 Pearl have a close profile.
