Unisex! ...or not.
I ordered this bottle some time ago from Notino as an add-on.
At that time I was still on the trip to test as much as possible.
To try out and discover as much as I could, regardless of whether I liked it afterwards or not.
Collect, bunker, collect ....more,
More, more, even more!

This bottle was on offer for 80€ for 100ml.
Generally costs around 150€, unless there is a discount.

About the bottle:
Definitely has a good feel/grip with a smooth finish.
Fits quite well in my large hand.
Quite heavy, not too heavy.
There are much better atomizers, but also truly worse ones.
Coloring is quite nice.
Personally, however, I find the shape and general appearance rather unattractive.
But that's personal taste.
Only plays a subordinate role in the evaluation.

About the fragrance:
Initially a certain freshness, which is quickly followed by a certain spiciness.
It then becomes fruitier and a few flowers also join in.

In the beginning, I wore the fragrance more often to familiarize myself more with different scents.
I always found it not so good.
Now it is a good average for me.

At the time, I also found the longevity and sillage significantly worse than today.
--Shelf life: approx. 6-9h
--Sillage: 3-4h clearly present, with generous use.

Conclusion:
To date, this fragrance is only available at Not..o or at a bazaar.
I would not buy it again.
If I hadn't used it up by now, I would give it as a gift.

PS: Adjustment of the rating for fragrance, durability, sillage, bottle has been adjusted to today's status.

Wood/Wood all good!
I like woody fragrances, I really like them.
I received this as a gift.
I've never been able to do anything with the Issey Miyake brand before, not one bit really.
New, it costs between 70-110€ for a 100ml bottle.

About the bottle:
The feel/grip is superficially smooth, ergonomically shaped.
This ensures good handling.
With a very good color gradient.
Spray head is in the upper midfield.
Perfectly adequate, better than many other brands.

About the fragrance:
Immediately after spraying, a fresh aquatic, with a woody touch.
Then quickly fruity and synthetic, with a spicy finish.

Lasts 4-6 hours and is therefore in the lower range.
Sillage approx. 1-3h, this is also in the lower range.

Conclusion:
I received this fragrance as a gift and tested it privately for a short time.
Then used it as a fragrance for work and finally gave it as a gift to a colleague at work.
He was delighted, all good.

Good! But good enough?
Fragrance tested in a perfumery, found to be good, but also good enough to buy the bottle with a capacity of 50ml at a price of 200-250€?

About the bottle:
The feel/grip is there.
Lies quite well in the hand.
Fragrance diffuser does its job sufficiently well.

About the fragrance:
After spraying on a clear berry note, red, fruity, juicy, authentic.
This also remains until the drydown.
The alcoholic fragrance note in the form of rum is added fairly quickly, as well as a slightly woody note of benzoin and, for me, minimally enriched with oud.
As a result, a mixture of spices and sweet vanilla come to the fore.
This also remains until the end.

Shelf life for me is approx. 8-11h.
Sillage in the first 4h about an arm's length, then increasingly reduced.

Conclusion:
I quite like the scent after wearing it several times, but it doesn't excite me enough.
So I have always left the bottle behind in the perfumery.
