| Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions. |

| Inferior? ABSOLUTELY! Because this EDT suffers from several major mechanical flaws. The first, being its overpowering sillage. It literally bludgeons the olfactory glands of bystanders with its high volume powered by numerous, cluttered, and poorly proportioned fragrance notes. Not only can you smell a gent wearing L'Eau D'Issey from across the room, but the scent continues to remain in the room even after that same gent has departed. When people can smell you approaching, and continue to smell you after you've left, believe me, your cologne is working against you. Even sensible application cannot overcome this cologne's natural tendency to drift to the far corners of the earth - a most undesireable trait. The other major failing of this nasal nausea is that it lacks depth, i.e. it doesn't allow its top, middle and base notes to develope with subtlety and imagination over time. L'Eau D'Issey smells as HARSH at the beginning as it does at its conclusion. No evolution in a scent is the hallmark of a poorly designed product. FiFi awards, high prices, loud advertising, focus groups and aggressive marketing don't make a great cologne. The outcome of that approach only produces trendy, niche scents such as this. A GREAT cologne is the product of inspired artists who apply their skills assiduously to produce timeless, scented masterpieces that can be enjoyed by all encounter them. |
