...of the Japanese fashion/fragrance house Issey Miyake.
I was introduced to this fragrance by a friend of the family. Now don't get me wrong, I don't go around smelling people, this smell simply wafted my way whilst out one night. I was immediately hooked.
As soon as humanly possible I purchased a 75ml bottle of the EDT from Boots for £28.50. L'eau D'Issey is widely available from Boots, Debenhams,. Rackhams, Bodycare and many online stores.

Metallic in its finish the box and actual shaping to the bottle are unique. The bottle, made out of thick frosted glass rather than being round is flat, about 3.5cm thick at the bottom. The bottle then tapers to about 1cm thick at the top. It contains a lot of glass and is ...

Advantages: Gorgeous fragrance, instant opposite sex attraction! Disadvantages: None
...Well here you are - Issey will always get a woman asking what gorgeous fragrance your wearing mainly because it smells so unlike any other. A great starting point to get that conversation on the way. ~ HOW GOOD IS THE STAYING POWER?
So how about its staying power I hear you asking then? Excellent infact, after my other half giving this a go (he loved it!) and applying some before we went out in the evening he still managed to smell gorgeous when ... ...The originality and design of Issey is also another point leading in its favour. Packaged in a simple rectangle box with colours mixed pale blue, white and silver striped is subtle but good looking and the actual design of the bottle is simple but effective. The flat, frosted glass bottle with its big silver cap and spray nozzle will look good in any mans bathroom cabinet and also gets the thumbs up for ease of use! Ranging from two different bottle ...

Advantages: Longlasting, distinctive Disadvantages: Not for everyone
I first discovered Issey Miyake’s L’Eau D’Issey pour Homme in late 1999, although the fragrance has been on the market for ten years now, having been released in 1992. As well as the Men’s Eau de Toilette there is of course L’Eau d’Issey for women, which is similarly packaged although the bottle is a conical shape, rather than the “wedge of cheese” shape.
In 2000 L’Eau D’Issey pour Homme Été was introduced – a lighter summer version of the classic ... ...an eye out for the Issey Miyake Travel pack, which is available only in flight (I have seen it on KLM and British Airways Flights). The set, which costs €35 (that’s about £22 in proper money) contains a 75ml EdT spray and a 50ml deodorant spray in plastic bottles with the deodorant (the blue bottle) slotting into the EdT bottle (the white transparent bottle). Being in plastic they can obviously survive the knocks of being in your luggage, and they ...

...favourite aftershave of mine is Issey Miyake (come to think of it, I actually have lots of favourites!).
Issey Miyake
Issey Miyake released this fragrance in 1994 and it is intended to be fresh, modern and sophisticated.
Packaging The box to the aftershave is light blue and silver and looks quite sophisticated. Issey Miyake is written across the front of the box and L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme is written underneath that. On the bottom of the box ... ...research, I have found that Issey Miyake is sold in bottle of 50ml, 75ml and 125ml. I can't seem to find a bottle of 30ml so I assume the smallest you can get is 50ml.
Smell The ingredients of this aftershave include a blend spicy carnation, peony and white lily. Apparently this aftershave is meant to be floral and fruity with a blend of fresh and spicy notes. To be honest, I know this doesn't sound very masculine but I can assure you that it is, ...

...de toilette on my wrist!! Issey Miyake's fragrances have been part of my household for years; both my Mom and Sister have bought his perfumes and I've always remarked on how light, fresh and fruity they smell. A perfume or aftershave is designed to draw you into its smell, and from the first time I caught a whiff of this I couldn't stop smelling it all day!!
It all happened on an innocent shopping trip to Birmingham. I was coming down the escalators ... ...He told me it was Issey Miyake and that the price was £22.50, for a 125ml bottle (4 fluid ounces). All day long the fragrance remained, but not in a heavy, overbearing way like many of the classic men's aftershaves such as Aramis or Obsession. The friend I was with at the time obviously took a mental note of my delight and duly purchased a bottle for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. The description on the bottom of the bottle is "refreshing, invigorating ...

...first time I came across Issey Miyake. It was 1999 and I was in my first year at college. My friends and I had just started hitting the clubbing scene, therefore fragrances were important. At that time the ‘popular’ types were CK1 (although I never liked this and thought it was a bit too chavy), Tommy Hilfiger, Joop, Burberry (definitely too chavy) and the original Hugo Boss. Trying to find something different was a bit of a mission.
A friend of ... ...picked up a bottle of Issey Miyake on the way through.
A couple of weeks later we all went clubbing and as he asked everyone’s opinion on the Issey he decided not to wear it for fear of being feminine.
I immediately loved the scent, sprayed it on and we went out. The Issey attracted so much female attention it was amazing. It was like pheromones in a bottle. That was it, the harsh ‘alpha male’ fragrances were now to be replaced by the more subtle ...

In the 3 years I have had mine (yes, thats right, same bottle)It has travelled the world in my suitcases and hand luggage and sat proudly on the shelf of many hotel bathrooms.

...assortment is a bottle of Issey Miyake's "L'Eau D'Issey for Men", which found it's way into the collection on a trip when I'd forgotten to pack any after-shave so picked something up in duty-free that I didn't have already. Initially I was tempted by the fact that it is available in travel-sized bottles that would easily fit into a wash-bag and look very resistant to the knocks, bumps and scrapes of baggage handling, but the price of these soon put ... ...is personal preference but because Issey lasts remarkably well it ends up giving me a headache if it's the only thing I can smell for hours on end. I far prefer to catch a whiff of it every now and again rather than a constant nasal assault. In terms of staying power, one generous squirt will happily last 12 hours (or more).
So you will already have realised that it's quite a potent number but I imagine you will be wondering what it smells of. On ...

Advantages: lovely fresh, clean aroma, lasts for ages Disadvantages: expensive.
...I first chose Issey Miyake as I was wearing another fragrance, but that has connotations of an ex girlfriend who had bought it for me. It is amazing the way we 'anchor' memories and feelings to smells, so I needed to find another one. I tried a few, but was immediately smitten by Issey Miyake after smelling the tester card. It invaded your senses in waves, it starts off with a rich, flowery smell but this retreats to a clean, fresh smell, it is warm ... ...flowers invading your olfactory senses...that's Issey Miyake! The bottle is a cool green colour, almost transparent glass, which reflects the green, fresh image of the fragrance. It is quite expensive, about £25 for 75ml or so, but the price can vary somewhat. There is a 'perfume shop' in Reading's oracle which offers good discounts for all fragrances.
Despite the flippant comments about fragrances enhancing attractiveness above, I like Issey Miyake ...

Advantages: Fresh smell, contemporary and stylish looking frosted glass bottle, strong and long lasting, strong bottle (have a really unstable shelving unit in my house, and the amount of times its fell off and bounced off the floor and not smashed is remarkable) Disadvantages: Possibly a bit too strong for some consumers, Quite Expensive
...the white box, it reads Issey Miyake, FRANCE, followed by the name L'EAU D'ISSEY POUR HOMME, followed by the volume details.
When I take the bottle out of its packaging, it looks really funky and especially contemporary. Its wide and tall, with a very unusual top, that slants inwards to a peak at th e top - which makes it look really sophisticated ( so will look wicked on the bathroom shelf lol)
It feels comfortable in the hand, and is very simple ... ...vapouriser is very strong, and therefore will give a note of caution, so that you dont end up pressing it all the way down, and quite hard, only to realise that half of the bottle has gone after one spray.

As hinted earlier, Issey Miyake produces not only these exciting fragrances, but also some zooty and very fashionable clothing. That special lady in your life could thus be spoiled with a bottle of her own, or perhaps a nice coat if you have the cash / credit to back up your good intentions.
Any woman with a good nose will therefore agree, Issey Miyake Pour Homme is a definite winner. It is unmistakably male and fresh without being ... ...unmistakable, slim bottles. Slightly more expensive than your standard Boots product, I still feel it is great value for money. One more thing to remember, Issey Miyake is French, and not Japanese as many of my friends first thought.

Spend over £25 and get a free £25 cosmetics pack and free delivery. Reflecting the more
principle of the yin and yang, the polarity of the world, this fragrance for men has its own personality and is a pendant to the womens fragrance, complementing it perfectly.

Traces of sandalwood, cedars, amber and musk are also present.
