Nice smell with mediocre performance
I was able to buy this for about 27 euros, so for the money I paid this fragrance offers a fair value.

To describe the scent of this you take the original L'Eau D'Issey tone down the citrus by half and replace it with some conifers.
The fragrance opens very sharp and in the start I only smell the conifers, which makes the top to woody and sharp for my taste. It takes about 15 minutes for the citruses to start to kick in, but only slightly in the first half hour.
The fragrance is woody aromatic and after my two first wearings it seems to lean the same direction as two other fragrances I have in my collection Encre Noir Sport and Rasasi Oudh al Misk.
The main difference is the opening as I said L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme by Kevin Lucbert does not have any citruses in the opening compared to the other two I mentioned.

Also for the current moment I was not able to test them side by side as of yet, since the two later mentioned are not available at my current location.

Regarding the longevity I get about 4-6 hours of longevity with about 1-2 hour of good projection.

Based on future testing and side by side comparison I might come back to add more details to this review.

It's a hot, humid...
... morning. I go take a shower. When I come out, I'm still hot; I need something to refresh and wake me up. So I grab my iced tea that I made the night before and a slice of bread with butter and lemon marmalade.

Upon applying this fragrance, you first get citrusy and aquatic notes that quickly blend with the extreme freshness of eucalyptus and the green accent of basil. There's something slightly floral. Additional green forest needle tones of pine, cypress, and balsam fir make this scent masculine. The wood of cedar rounds it off.

The longevity and sillage are average.

This fresh men's fragrance is suitable for ages 16 and up without age restrictions. It's a very nice scent for warm and hot days, very wearable. This fragrance is best suited for school, university, the office, leisure time, shopping, or even sports. In the evening, I see this perfume being best for very hot nights, especially at a beach bar or beach party. The ladies can also give this scent a try.

Those who enjoy a fresh, green, woody, masculine fragrance will find a good fit here.

Gin in Summer
A light, fresh, and green-spicy fragrance experience. The scent gives me a clear gin association (probably due to the combination of lemon, pepper, and basil). Definitely a summer fragrance that you don't come across everywhere. The only downside is the performance, which can only be described as below average even for a light summer scent. It can definitely be worn unisex.

Not a must-buy or blind-buy candidate, but definitely worth trying if the opportunity arises.

Gin Tonic
The scent is actually a must for gin lovers. Without paying attention to the fragrance notes, it smells to me like cucumber, basil, lemon, and gin. Additionally, there is also an aquatic note to be detected. The fragrance is very pleasant and light, yet lasts longer than typical summer scents..

Anyone who doesn't want to strain their wallet too much and simply wants to smell fresh and like a gentle gin and tonic can easily carry this scent.

(Can definitely be worn by all genders)

This combo of lemon, green & aquatic notes is just not my style. Each sniff makes me wish for the sharp notes to calm down, but they don't.

The already legendary L'Eau d'Issey Background scent is complemented here by notes of eucalyptus and woods. Nice twist, I want it.

Reminds me a lot of 3AM Eau de Toilette This Issey is a bit rounder. Fresh-sparkling, slightly exotic. Great no-brainer.

Fragrance notes are hinted at with strained imagination.
A slightly synthetic coolness comes and disappears faster than the sea breeze.

A scent that Issey fans definitely need to try. A successful flanker for warmer days. It becomes increasingly rounded and refined over time.

Quite a playful summer scent.
Very unique with a certain coconut note (basil-eucalyptus blend?).
It evolves over time. Not bad.

For summer, this is a lovely eucalyptus scent that does exactly what it should on warm days.

Great fresh green scent with a wonderful eucalyptus-cypress note. Perfect for summer when you're outdoors. Average sillage but great price.
