Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic
Issey Miyake Fusion d'Issey is a fresh, citrusy and lightly aquatic men's scent, best suited to spring and summer days and relaxed daily wear.
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with little interest in winter; it leans towards leisure, daytime and office wear. Most see its character as masculine and modern.
It opens with coconut water, lemon and fig nectar, giving a light, fruity freshness. In the heart, geranium, eucalyptus, cardamom, rosemary and nutmeg add a green, spicy edge. Patchouli, salicylate, woods and ambrox settle it onto a woody, slightly creamy base. The overall balance sits between sweet and fresh, with a somewhat synthetic feel.
