pretty much Fusion d'Issey
I own Fusion d'Issey which I really enjoy, it is a very nice fragrance but not quite 'great' so, to me Fusion d'Issey Extreme was an opportunity for Issey to take that extra step into greatness.
To be fair I just got my bottle and I haven't worn it yet, I just sprayed it on my wrist but my first impression is: this is pretty much just Fusion d'Issey in a nicer bottle (a little nicer for that matter since it's the same but with a blue hue instead of a green one). Was I expecting a massive variation from a flanker? No, not really however all the Nuit d'Issey flankers have their own personality even though they have the same dna. Pulse of the Night is not really that similar to Noir Argent, right? L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Eau Fraiche sure has a nice twist in the L'Eau Bleue formula so considering the Fig note was removed from Fusion d'Issey Extreme (Fig was a very strong note in the original) and some other tweaks like ambroxan which is no longer listed as a note and the addition of mineral and solar notes (according to fragrantica) I expected something a bit new but instead the only slight difference I found from that first spray is a more noticeable Cardamom in the opening but it was fleeting.
I'll update this in the next couple of weeks once I've worn it properly, this is a really nice scent just like the previous version but so far I wouldn't suggest getting both unless you're a hardcore collector or at least an Issey Miyake fanboy like myself.
