L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Eau Fraîche Issey Miyake 2006
2
FRESH AIRY CLEAN SLIGHTLY GREEN HERBAL/EARTHY
L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Eau Fraiche is not a citrus-freshie instead it's a earthy-freshie that's non-aquatic unlike its fore-fragrance the OG L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme.
fresh slightly sweet juicy citrus/bergamot off the bat, has that classic L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme bright freshness but toned down so not as sharp, mint not really detectable, the rosemary along with the musk are the stars of the fragrance composition as the patchouli adds a slight earthiness, the patchouli & rosemary gives it good masculinity to counter the bright florals (May rose & Peony) + musk; good quality for the price, notes do not smell synthetic, all notes blends extremely well to help create & support each accord; really unique warm weather 'fraichey', just wish it projected better.
when i 1st got it, i compared it with its fore-fragrance L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme which made realize how less deep & bold L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Eau Fraiche to L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme, but it still doesn't take away from the great craftsmanship and how good of a frag L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Eau Fraiche is.
Projection/Sillage': MINIMAL, an in-close scent mainly but 4-5 ft scent bubble for the 1st hour or so then.
Performance/Longevity: GOOD, 5-6 hours (on fabric)
