L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2018
Fragrance notes
Character
You spray L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Summer 2018 and immediately a grapefruit rind snaps open, tart and bright, but there’s something else hiding in the peel: a kiwi’s fuzzy green sweetness, the kind you bite into on a ferry crossing, with a twist of coriander that keeps things aromatic rather than merely fruity. The heart lets pineapple bubble up, not syrupy but freshly sliced, balanced by nutmeg’s warm dust. Then cypress and vetiver pull the whole thing down into a clean, earthy base, like a dock damp with salt and crushed pine needles.
This is a fragrance built for a single scene: you on a crowded beach boardwalk at noon, skin slick with sunscreen, t-shirt stuck to your back. It’s bright, sweet, and tropical without tipping into cloying, though it behaves like a short-lived sparkler. Longevity barely reaches three hours, and sillage stays close to the chest. The ratings whisper the truth: beautiful opening, vanishing act.
Perfect for anyone who wants a high-energy citrus blast for a summer vacation or a sweltering afternoon commute, and best left on the shelf for those who need depth or darkness. Alberto Morillas shaped a fleeting holiday in a bottle, not a year-round companion. Wear it to the farmers market, the ferry ride, the outdoor brunch where the wine is chilled and the fruit bowl is real. Just reapply.
