L`Eau d`Issey Pour Homme Gold Absolute Issey Miyake for men

Wish I knew Cinnamon was one of the notes. I like the original, but this one I don't like it at all. I use it simply because the bottle is almost full and I don't dare to throw it away.
First I could smell the citrus notes but then the spicy ones combined transforms this fragrance into something that I can't stand, almost like BO, truly bad. After that the cinnamon becomes more noticeable taking central stage almost as a stand alone ingredient.
I'm not saying this is a bad fragrance, but just not the type of scent I like.

This scent is a hit or miss one. Definitely try before buying. The amber can turn rancid on some people. When I first tried this I did not like it, but later I learned to love it. It is a good fragrance, especially for a night out, but it depends on your skin chemistry.

Where did this list of notes come from? At first it glistens with updated Issey goodness. But... the fragrance has two faces. I don't see rancid synthetic ambrette or cat spray in the list of base notes.

very very fresh n spicy.... longevity is very good, stays on me for 7-8hrs

i love it....

It's such a shame this is only a limited edition!
In my opinion this is the ultimate L'eau D'issey version. It has the fantastic freshness of the original with added spicyness in the topnotes. Quickly the amber and woodsy notes start to shine through, taking the formula to a whole new dimension: rich, strong, intense, distinctive. On my skin the original just fades after the topnotes fly off, but with Gold Absolute, the scent just grows and grows.

Longevity on my skin is a lot better than the original as well. Stays on me for 7-8 hours and for days on your clothing.

All I can say is: get this while stocks last. It's sublime.

@nattonline, thats what I thought too, its is practically the same juice different bottle, has anyone noticed any difference? I sure cant notice a thing, it is definatley wonderful stuff.
PS. I dont get any similarities with chanels Blanche Edition besides the bottle being golden coloured, absolutley not, its just a limited bottle change, for collectors maybe.

IMO this is the most perfect version of L'EAU D'ISSEY so far. It's so well blended! My favorite limited edition!

It smells just like the Noir Absolu which is deep, rich, warm, and somewhat spicy with a freshness of the original L'Eau d'Issey Miyake at the base. If you plan on getting one, just get the bottle you like. No need to get them both.
