A Dream Come True...

... I am spending a few days on vacation in Takahagi, a small coastal town in Japan, and I see the northern Pacific Ocean from Takado Kohama Beach. I had picked up some sushi beforehand and am now enjoying it here on the beach while the waves wash over my feet. Along with that, a cold green tea. This nearly empty beach and the sea create a sense of relaxation. How beautiful it is.

When applying this fragrance, the first thing you notice is a fresh citrusy scent (even though no citrus fruits are listed in the fragrance pyramid) that merges with green algae, salt, and sea. Slowly, resinous, mossy, and woody accords begin to dominate, adding a masculine touch to the scent. Over time, the fragrance becomes dry.

The longevity and sillage are good.

Here, the house of Issey Miyake has created a gentleman's fragrance that gives men a certain masculine boldness. Since this scent is quite mature and masculine, I would recommend wearing it starting around mid-twenties, open to older ages. I see this fragrance less suited for women. Of course, everyone must try it for themselves. This is a perfume for warm and hot days. It can be worn well during the day in a suit with an open shirt at the office, in a meeting, or simply at a meal. It is certainly also elegant in jeans with a white shirt and leather shoes. In the evening, it radiates elegance at a concert, theater, dinner, in a club, or bar.

Anyone who enjoys a fresh citrusy, salty, green, aquatic, resinous, and mossy scent has a great chance of finding a wonderful fragrance here and having fun with it.

A lovely description, I'm curious to see how the scent will affect me; so far, I only know the EDT version.

Does it work on colder days too? I think it could fit.

All fragrances work anytime, but this one definitely works on cold days too.

I’m going to treat myself to a decant as well. The original already had an effect on me, so I’m curious about the Eau de Parfum.
