L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Eau de Toilette L'Ete is a bright, green, and citrus-forward summer fragrance that channels the signature freshness of the original L'Eau d'Issey while offering a lighter, more airy interpretation. It opens with a crisp blend of mandarin orange and yuzu, enhanced by aromatic sage and a maritime accord that evokes cool sea air—light, clean, and refreshing. The dry down reveals a subtle, vetiver-laced amber base that gives the scent depth without heaviness, creating a sophisticated, non-invasive aura that lingers subtly even after a few hours. It’s ideal for warm weather, especially daytime wear, and performs best on skin or fabric, where its green-citrus notes linger pleasantly. Despite mixed opinions on its longevity, some users report up to 8 hours of wear, particularly on clothing.
