Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

It opens sharp and zesty with yuzu and lemon, a bright burst of citrus. Then comes a clean, soapy floral heart with blue lotus, and a dry finish of vetiver and woody notes.

How it wears

Wearers find it moderate in both staying power and trail, though a fair number are impressed by how long a fresh scent can last.

When to wear it

It is a summer and spring perfume, worn by day, and the community often puts it down as an office choice.

Who it suits

It suits men who like a clean, brisk, timeless freshness and a bit of energy at the start. The citrus is sharp, so it may feel too tart if you like soft, creamy scents.
