L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Eau d'Ete 2011 Issey Miyake for men

Not particularly original, because a tone remembers me Bvlgari Aqva quite a bit, only less (if I mean correctly) salty. Or maybe is seaweed what I´m figuring. Anyway, longevity seens to be not very good and the same goes for sillage. And of course there is something to say that it comes from the original D'Issey, but in a very light way. I think if wasn't for that Bvlgari Aqva tone, I'd like it more, since I´m not a fan of the original D'Issey either. So to me is a big deja vu, but could not to be one for whon only has original D'issey, the D'Issey Intense and Bleu, and are not so familiar with other scents with marine/blue/salty/etcetera aspects, like, once more, Aqva.

Tried this recently and found that it is wonderfully fresh. The ginger comes very strongly right from start till the end. The beginning also gives a refreshingly fresh citrus smell which lingers till the end. Like it better than the original d'issey.

Im a girl, but I liked this one better than the "for her" perfume (found it extremely floral). The homme seems very unisex for me in a good way. And cheap too.

Might be wrong but I smell something like ginger.

It's a peppery aquatic scent with cardamom as the main spice with aquatic watery quality of orange fruits. These two notes make the scent appear gingery. Vetiver is subtle but noticeable. It's very nice overall but it's basically the same as other edition, especially 2008 flanker that I have.

2010 Edition is the same too. So is the 2006 flanker.

Dosent last long. Normal 1 is better

Just more herbal and green in top notes but after 10 min it will be same as the original.
I dont like original neither this version,they are synthetic to my nose.
I'll skip the entire line.

i have been waiting for this version to arrive in malaysia!!

It's just a sea smell. Not bad but not excellent

I couldn't catch any interesting thing in this one instead of a salty aquatic scent which reminds ocean surface! The idea of seaweed on the bottle is the most interesting thing because it presents a sour and aquatic mood only for summer and if you wear it in cold you may shiver and it comes from yuzu which I don't like this way. Yuzu in the opening till the end and vetiver in undertone in base to make it a little smoky. Not bad at all but I prefer the original one.

longevity 5/10
sillage 8/10
scent 6/10

This is the most beautiful bottle of this line!
You must see it in real, hold it in your hand. Elegant light blue bottle with the fierce red graphic. It's such a masterpiece.
The smell, like all other summer editions, still the same with the original, cool top notes, almost like 2009 version!

Still worth to purchase with people who adore the original!

For me it smells like sea water and reminded the shores of the sea

I like the bottle. The fragrance is like 2009, or a little bit sharper. It doesn't lasts very long. I am disappointed with the middle notes.

i tested it last week, seems very similar to the 2010th version, but i like it! Problem: the bottle-print does not represent the smell of it ! thats bad! :*

You can smell something else going on (yuzu) slightly in this issey besides the same lemon scent but to be honest its the same old issey in a pretty bottle.

same notes of 2010 version?
