What does L'Eau Majeure d'Issey smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage is moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some room for the office. Voters mostly see it as masculine and modern.
It opens with grapefruit and bergamot for a bright citrus start, then moves to ambergris in the heart and cashmeran in the base. An aquatic, sweet line runs alongside faint spicy and woody touches. The overall impression is clean, cool and slightly synthetic. Bvlgari Le Gemme - Tygar (Eau de Parfum) and OrkusOdes Ikaros have a close profile.
