L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2017 delivers a crisp, aquatic, and woody fragrance with a distinctively bitter citrus opening dominated by grapefruit and cypress. The scent evolves with soft fruity accents from kiwi and pineapple, grounding into a dense, earthy vetiver base that adds maturity and depth. Its performance is moderate, with a moderate projection and sillage that leans more toward intimate than expansive, making it particularly suitable for daytime wear in warm weather. The fragrance maintains a linear structure throughout, with few notable shifts in character, resulting in a clean, fresh, and sporty profile that feels both casual and classy. Many appreciate its low-impact elegance and ability to remain unobtrusive while still making a noticeable impression on the body. It stands out as a dependable choice for summer days, gym sessions, or vacation while minimizing clash with others due to its slightly restrained sillage.
