Issey Miyake Fusion d'Issey Eau de Toilette 100ml & 2 x Shower Gel, 50 ml

Product Information

The thing with the Demeter is it’s also one of the few I’ve tried that both lasts and projects extremely well. Top notes are Coconut Milk, Fig Nectar and Lemon; middle notes are Sandalwood, Rosemary, Geranium and Cardamom; base notes are Ambroxan, Woody Notes and Patchouli. This volcanic fragrance is held in a bottle replete with contrasts, tall and elegant in gleaming deep blue glass. Hot and cold elements collide in a strong and vigorous masculine scent with creaminess, fresh notes and rich woody tones that will intrigue and beguile. Coconut mixed with fig, an aromatic woodiness in the background with a touch of sandalwood, rosemary and ambroxan.

It didn't* wow me initially but it definitely has something about it, seems very well blended, I get an impression of a soft suede like accord but this could be coming from the combination of patchouli with certain other notes. Fusion d'Issey is a good one, arguably Miyake's attempt to jump on a certain trend but I like it and hope to get a bottle at some point once it gets discounted properly, it's definitely going towards the top my wish list! As someone already mentioned previously this is an exotic fougere, charming, modern, soft and easy-to-wear. We all have our point of views based on our perception, I'd like to understand yours better as I find your comparison quite interesting and different to my own and that's part of what I like about this frag hobbie. I am still trying to work out the different notes that make up this fragrance, but part of the appeal is the blend and the various accents picked up whilst wearing.

Nathalie Lorson, Master Perfumer, composed Fusion d'Issey Extrême by adding a new spicy facet to this solar fern fragrance. They’re generally not meant to be long lasting but occasionally you strike one that breaks all the rules. I tried this again today for probably the third or fourth time already, for me it's definitely been rewarding to try it more than once, I like it more each time.

There is a creamy coconut/citrus accord that weaves its way in and out throughout its life that strikes me as a much more refined version of that brutally forceful and synthetic-as-hell coconut/citrus/amber accord featured in Cool Water Intense. Maintaining dichotomy, potency and poise are combined as an aromatic breeze comes together with a solar amber accord. This masculine scent contains notes of Cardamom, Bergamot, Peppermint, Sandalwood and Mineral Solar Accord. To highlight this, the name Fusion d'Issey appears in graphic orange letters, evoking the incandescent hue of lava.Ofc it reminds me of Kenzi Homme Night, but this is softer and actually better att balancing coconut. Perfumes with natural ingredients often smell different in batches based on the source of the ingredients, while synthetic ingredients usually have consistency in their smell and lasts longer.
