by Issey Miyake
Fusion d'Issey is a light, creamy coconut fragrance with a prominent fig note that gives it a tropical, slightly sweet character. The opening features a refreshing blend of lemon and coconut milk, creating a clean, airy feel reminiscent of sunscreen or a refreshing shower gel, though it's less cloying than many similar scents. As it dries down, a woody base of sandalwood, patchouli, and ambient ambroxan emerges, balancing the sweetness with a soft, masculine warmth while remaining subtle and approachable. The scent is best suited for warm weather, especially late spring through summer, and performs moderately with a sillage that is mostly intimate, fading quickly after 30 minutes. The overall impression is one of a modern, hygienic fragrance designed to be unobtrusive yet pleasant.
