L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme Issey Miyake for men

Very fresh, elegant, good sillage and has average longevity. The smell of rosemary is evident. I think this is a different smell, not common. This perfume will substitute my Versace pour Homme. Their smell are not similar, but both are fresh and elegant and can be used at night or day. Women notice this fragrance and most of them praise this smell.

Love this one, bought 2 bottles , not any drop in them. This fragance works almost balsamic on me, allways perfect and uplifting. I can t find it now. Perfect for any woman who loves citrus oriental original, not so femenine obvious scents. Adorable!

a very very unique scent,works for all seassons.love it,another masterpiece from issey miyake.

Once again - it's just an alien, as somebody described it the drydown is out of this world. I wear this perfume from october till february, and 90% at colder nights. Only in this part of the year I can reach the whole mistery and blue darkness from this magic juice.I can't achieve such astonishing results in the spring/summer nights. Skin tricks perhaps -))...

Very nice fragrance for spring and summer.It opens medicinal and herbal way and it takes long time for middle and base notes to come out that's why you have to be patient to appreciate this fragrance.Different from the rest of the spring summer fragrances.Sad that it is discontinued.

This particular fragrance opens up with citrus notes wheres the acid aspect is followed by peppery notes without leaving aside the typical ginger aroma (which sadly disappears very quickly).

Not a very good opening at all, but after about 30 minutes, the drydown appears giving to this fragrance a green/herbal chord way much better than the opening.

If you're looking into this fragrance just because you love the original, be careful since they do not have almost nothing in common!

I bought a 125 ml bottle of this juice and I´m not disappointed! Very good longevity, at least 8 hours. To me, grapefruit (not listed) and patchouli are the dominant notes in this fragrance.

@nattonline
Don't worry, it's not your fault. You know, everbody has different sensation so a scent that others find amazing can be terrible for you. It's not because that your smell is wrong but you smell different :)

I actually got 2 bottles of this fragrances because 2 of my friends received it as a present but they both find it the most "grandpa" fragrance ever so they gave it to me :)

I don't find this scent "amazing" either, it's just interesting for me but not something I really like to wear.

So, relax! There are so many fragrances you may find capturing :)

Everybody seems to get a wonderful scent from this but ,to me, all I really get from this is something very green and herbal, especially patchouli, cypress, sandalwood, and oakmoss. No fruit at all but it has some sweet spot. It may evolve into something better but I can't stand having this on for more than 30 minutes. I may have a bad sample, who knows. :(

@Endymion, you're right!

I just bought this fragrance today...all i can say..
AMAZING..

Opening with salty aquatic freshening smell reminds me coastal vacations. Although it's full of citruses in the top, it's not strongly citric, more herbal. It's amazing in the opening with semi-smoky and smooth summery notes.
The middle is deeper but not salty anymore, immensely aromatic and green with predominant pink pepper, this step smells like palm wood and greengage blossom. The dry down is only a sweet chilly blossomed pepper dancing; mossy and deeply aromatic.

longevity 8/10
sillage 8/10
scent 6/10

To remember. Excellent is the least i can say about this fragrance

so unique.. love it ;)

sharp, vulgar annoying perfume to surrondings if u put more tan 2 puffs.i dont like it , medicinal

love it!

este é um dos preferidos em minha lista!!começa fresco, quase gelado,se mantém com um leve toque adocidado e termina com bosque sutil!!bem diferente e original!!e aqui no brasil é bem exclusivo!!amo isso!!!

This is a very interesting scent. It's unique and versatile. I can wear it in the morning or for an evening out. It's woody and has a slightly sweet touch to it (at least on my skin). The dry down is out of this world, with a hint of patchouli and cedar. Even though it's a very complex smell, it feels quite simple due to the fact that it's really well blended.

probé este y realmente me impresionó...es un perfume nicho como dijo alguien por ahí ....me tendí en mi cama y al otro día seguía sintiendo el aroma en mi habitación pues la almohada había quedado impregnada con esta fragancia.totalmente recomendable.

agree with aquila_2009. It take a long time till the base notes and wouldbe slightly long last. Very good scent for spring. Try it.

I agree because it also doesn't look medicinal to my nose. Just a bit strong and kinda sharp herbal smell, with good sillage. This aspect may be a plus to call good attention around (and your own) but is a bit too loud compare to what I like to wear. Very good impression on first snif, but not anymore. I´m still not a fan of Issey.

Once you spray the fragrance you get a cloud of aromatic herbs, rosemary domineering and i wish this beautiful smell never ended, but it all settles down to a woody soft base with hints of the top notes showing up here and there.
P.S.: There's nothing medicinal about this frag.

This is an exceptional fragrance! Unique, potent, fresh, enveloping, enticing...All that and more. The first time you smell it you may think this is way too herbal and aromatic, but give it time to settle and you'll be rewarded. The scent has a very natural feel to it. You feel surrounded by fresh woods, bamboo, ferns, a nearby sea, and something mineral or earthy. Wow...Soo complex yet so clear and smooth.

Two pieces of advice: 1) test on skin (the strip doesn't do it justice); 2) give it at least 5 mins before making a decision. 10/10

it is a unique perfume. it is different, permanent, sexy and special. When I use it I feel great. 10/10

Love this one, so does the wife, smells nothing like the original,more softer and lighter, very subtle but lasts an age

Alternate notes list:
TOP-mandarin,rosemary,citronella,badian,
orangewood,elemi
HEART-may rose,nasturtium,palmarosa,
ginger,pepper,cypress
BASE-mosses,patchouli,sandal,ambrette

This to me sounds like such a wonderful scent, yet I cannot find it anywhere but on-line. Has this been discontinued already? This sounds like a fresh, natural scent that is not too aquatic and I would love to find it...

Just buy it, do not think, just buy it!
Make you're self a favor and buy it, it's like paying for sex...if you know what I mean!;)

I tested this fragrance in the last winter. IN my opinion it smells better when it's cold because I bought it this summer and I think when it's cold it smell a little bit different. Anyway , this is a great perfume, especially for winter, it smells like a conifers forest for me and that makes it probably so special. It lasts forever especially on clothes :)

Hi.

It is very aromatic and fresh charming citruses scent.could be worn in summer or whenever you want to feel happy!

I like it because it takes a long time till the base notes appear.
I always get compliments when i wear this one!
Bravo mr cavallier.

7/10

the best perfume i ever had from my collection..i just bought yesterday another bottle from my first bottle back 2005.Really love the smells..really suits me and still the best for me..Im using it for everyday use and people will noticed me by the smells.. :)

I am delighted, this scent is very original. Its application is a bit strong but once past the skin 10-15 minutes evolves into a gentle but intense aroma at a time, not how to explain the background notes ... I love and its projection and above average longevity. 7.5/10 for me

This scent is too strong and mature for my taste. I can't stand the scent of this perfume and it gives me headache. I received a bottle of this perfume as a gift and I just gave it away.

This scent smeels like no other, it's unique, long lasting and give me a nice feeling. I will buy it.

Wow! So citrus and Be_U_T_Full.
My v. best one.
:)
Thanks Mr. Issey!

ese perfume huele mortal lo e comprado 3 veces me encanta mucho.

On my body, upon spraying, i can detect the citrus top notes for the first 10 seconds. Afterthat, it turns to a dry chrysanthemum flower scent which reminds me of the chrysanthemum drinks (boiled dried chrysanthemum flowers). Basenotes were typical ambery scent.

Feels airy and young despite the dark heavy woody characteristic. Some might associate it with some gone-bad-chemical-reeks perfume.

2 thumbs up for this manly cologne. Very long lasting. Sillage is average. FYI im wearing this in a hot humid climate. Smells fantastic.

You can expect a very unique, light, high quality and long lasting fragrance if it is from Issey Miyake.

This is no exception. It has fruits, woods, flowers and musk that form a very complex but light smell.

If you find the extreme clashes of notes in the first Issey Miyake too complex then this might be a better option for you. This is not a vertical scent either but has much less clashes between notes. The aromatic, flowery and woody notes are harmonious and are tamed brilliantly with musk.

This is a very long lasting, aromatic and woody (and slightly fruity and musky),fresh, charismatic and unique scent. A very great candidate to be your signature.

It does not work on most body chemistries but when you find someone it is compatible with... WOW! My brother just found his signature scent.

nice one

I love this perfume, I wear it for special occasions every body notice you are there when wearing it.

I really like this Scent. It's Not Just a darker version of the original Issey. It's different, very unique. & YES, It has lasting Power. One of My Favorites of 2007

Because I like L'eau d'Issey and L'eau d'Issey Intense a lot, I bought this blind. My first thoughts were that it is very fresh, but there was something strangely familiar about it. After a few minutes it came to me, it's a bit like Chrome. It's not so much that it smells like Chrome, but that it passes through a phase where it smells similar to Chrome for a while, without as much cedar (the woods come through later), as it goes from the opening to the heart.

There are some floral notes in the middle that come and go, sort of drifting in and out. L'eau Bleue has changes going on throughout it's duration. The dry down is Sandalwood/Cedar and very light Patchouli with remnants of the heart still lingering. I would wear this one for work, casual, weekends, etc.

It's projection is fairly strong for the first hour or two, then average after that. Overall longevity is average to good. Very clean and fresh throughout. I like it.

Very strong and mystical.Very long-lasting.Unique odour!
