An elite scent...

| Review Date: January 23, 2008 |
| Reviewer: J. Wong, Pdx, OR USA |
I've used this scent for almost a decade and I've never been disappointed in its ability to impress. Every time I hug a lady, there's always compliments. It's a wonderful thing. Scent/smell lingers on the mind and invokes the memory when revisited in the future and this will make her never forget. Therefore, you must use this scent wisely. =)
Whenever I'm asked what this scent is, I respond and they're always baffled at my answer, mainly because they don't know what language I'm answering in. French? Japanese? It always takes a little bit of explanation. Regardless, the looks on their faces when you explain says everything about the scent. It makes people daydream. Why would she want to know why a Japanese guy chose a French influence on his scent? She's just thinking about how beautiful the scent is. Guaranteed to get you future hugs, unless you're repulsive.
Bottom line, this is an exquisite scent. Not too brash or overpowering. Like a sexy breath of fresh air. Lingers for just as long as you need. 100% recommended if you want to get close with your companion. |
Excellent Fragrgance

| Owned this a long time ago and decided to purchase it again. I'm happy I did. I cannot believe I went so long without this cologne. From now on I will always have bottle. I have gotten nothing but compliments on this scent, and what makes me like it even more is that its not as common as 'other scents' so you won't be out with your girl and pass guys smelling just like you. If you want to get closer to your girl......this is a must, the hugs and kisses last longer because she will always want to be close to you. |
Subtle and refined fragrance that lasts all day
|
| Review Date: July 29, 2009 |
| Reviewer: buru buru piggu, New York, NY USA |
I've tried many different EDT's over the years and can definitely say L'eau D'Issey is my absolute favorite. If you like Polo Sport, True Star By Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss For Men, or Curve By Liz Claiborne, you'll probably like L'eau D'Issey.
It smells refined, youthful, and sophisticated, with a light citrus & woody spice scent that is very pleasing, not musky, overly sweet, or intrusive to other people's olfactory nerves. I don't like to douse myself in fragrance and be one of those people you can smell from across the room. A little goes a long way and understated elegance is the theme here, down to the attractive frosted glass bottle and minimalist packaging design. All I need is 2 or 3 small pumps in the morning before going to work, and I smell nice all day.
Because it is impossible to describe in words how this smells, and the fact that fragrances interact differently based on each user's skin chemistry, you'll have to experience it for yourself. Go to your local Sephora/drugstore/perfumery, rub some into your arm, and have a sniff.
For $50, not a bad investment in smelling nice. Based on past experience, 4.2 ounces lasts me a year or more. |
The ladies will love it on you!

| Guys, Issey Miyake needs to be a part of your cologne arsenal. I was first introduced to Issey Miyake by a good lady friend of mine, and because I'm a big `Polo' fan, I was a little nervous about trying something different. I had never experienced Issey Miyake before, but I took my lady friend's word for it and ordered a bottle. Was I glad I did. I've received nothing but compliments when wearing it. It smells great. It's cologne that you can wear every day. It's masculine, but not too over powering; it's casual, but very classy. |

| It's an incredible fragrance and is never discounted, which is why I was surprised and glad to take the opportunity to get it at a big discount during Amazon's specials on fragrances. |

| I purchased this cologne for my son who lives in another state. It arrived early which was a nice surprise since I waited until the last minute to start my gift shopping. He says he has received nothing but compliments on it. |
I have been a big fan for almost 10 years, and I'm only 28

Yes ladies, once you smell this product, you'll be hooked!!!
This cologne is very rare to find on a man, but I can recognize that smell in miles. It has this refreshing exciting zing to it reminds me of unknown countries and first passionate kisses :) |
Chicks LOVE It

| I'm in college and I bought this cologne by recommendation and wow were they right! First party I walked into with it on (after about an hour of it setting in) within LITERALLY 30 seconds I had two cute chicks on me all night. Will never buy anything else. 5/5! |

| This is my personal favorite! I wear this anytime I go out for a special occasions. I get compliments from random girls all the time! I almost literally have to beat them away with a stick! LoL. To be honest, I should'nt tell all you other guys about this product, because I want to be unique to myself... :) |

| Reviewer: Erik P. Hilderbrand, Washington, Pennsylvania |
| By far, this is without a doubt one of the finest colognes on the market, and for good reason, because it smells fantastic. This is one of the only colognes I wear. I wear it much more than the others I have. It's basically my standard cologne. The notes that it has are sharp and mellow. As the cologne wears, the scent becomes a lot more mellow and sweet, but when you first apply it, it's sharp, strong and very to the point. I had the same mentality as the one reviewer about it being a "signature cologne" of mine, but soon lost that once they started selling it at Wal-Mart. :( Do I reccomend this colonge? Absolutely. Buy some, it's money well spent. |

| I have loved this cologne for like 10 years. I always keep some around. I rank it up there among what are in my opinion, the all time great Eau de toilette, right next to Gaultier and cool water. Actually it's my #1. |
Excellent purchase

I've worn this scent for years, and I always receive compliments on it. It's not overpowering and obnoxious, and doesn't linger uncomfortably behind you.
It's also nice to not smell like the 6 guys standing around you, wearing whatever the scent-pusher in the mall convinced them to purchase. |
Fresh and Timeless

| Reviewer: Jennie Davis, KY |
| This is one of the best smelling colognes that I have ever smelled. I won't let my man wear anything else!!!! The price for it was great as well. You would have to pay much more in a department store for the same exact product. |
Love this scent

| This scent is nice on the nose. Not too strong that it is overpowering, and does last longer than someothers. Always gets compliments that he smells good, from the ladies. He likes it also, thats what counts. I buy it for him all the time. |
One of my go to's

| Review Date: June 20, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Tom Rees, Mountain View, CA |
I was very hesitant to purchase this product but I'm very glad I did! My hesitation was due to the fairly unisex nature of this scent. However, the airy, cool, floral, citrusy nature of the cologne does mellow / warm up and blend with some woodsy tones after a bit which was a nice discovery for me.
What I was left with was a unique, classy, summer / spring scent that has the most staying power of any cologne I own. |
Incredible smell

I love this perfume, and I found exactly what I expected. I thougt it will be without a lid or without the box..
I found it with everything, as if I am buying it from a normal perfume store.
I am very satisfied with this purchase, and probably I will buy all my perfumes from Amazon. |

| My son loves this cologne. When he is about to run out of it he starts dropping hints that he is about out. Which is a signal he wants more. |
What a nice fragrence for men!

| Reviewer: Armando J. D'onofrio, Connecticut, USA |
Hello,
I originally found this fragrence at the China section of Epcot at Disney World last year. My wife and I tested many fragrences and found this one to be really nice (it's imported from France). The good news is that I got a bottle almost twice as large at Amazon as the one I bought at Disney, for around the same price. Once again, Amazon comes through.
Enjoy! |
Elegance Entirely

| Reviewer: Jeremiah Duncan, Los Angeles, CA USA |
| This scent is so elegant and it also makes such a great presence among your other colognes "for men of course" and it is such a smooth and amber filled scent I love this scent just as much as I love my Givenchy "I misspelled" and I real love my Givenchy Paris it is amazing so this is my new favorite scent and my body chemistry only makes it even better after settling into my skin so in closing buy this scent if you want something that will engulf your evening and your partner as well in your presence alone lol. |
It's for men, duh.

However, I do not. It is okay. I got him Kenneth Cole Black, which I think is similar but better and he prefers Issey.
You know what they say about smells and memories. I hope he is not associating this scent with someone else! |
Perfume for men

I thought the smell would be stronger. But it is not. I knowck off 1 star for that.
Over all, it`s a nice perfume for men (and women too I think, I like how it smells on me) |

not the same

| Reviewer: O. Ruiz, Ft lauderdale, Fl |
This is definitely not the same collogne that you buy at stores. It is a mix close but no cigar.
The bottle even had a loose top meaning that it was filled not by the manufacturer. |
Wear It in the Summer

| Reviewer: D. Greenly, Texas |
| Beware, you do not need a lot of it. It is very citrus/metallic in nature. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice cologne, but can be overwhelming if you use too much. |
I did not care for it.

Heat damaged product
|
| Review Date: July 8, 2009 |
| Reviewer: CBGT, Seattle, WA, USA |
I received my fragrance and was at first surprised with how the capping worked. The large top came off and another plastic cover was fixed closely to the bottle. This plasic cover showed sings of a melted substance. This plastic cover was actually the base of the cap. The melted substance might have been glue, but it might have been fragrance that leaked under pressure. The paint job on the outside of the bottle appears sharp at a distance and was close to a nice job, but had a few extra paint splotches.
I'm a fan of this fragrance (from a sampler I received once). The fragrance smells great, but I'd like to compare it to an in-store version.
I'm tending to believe I received an authentic product that was cheap becaues it was heat damaged, but I could be convinced otherwise. |

| Reviewer: Monnie, Left Coast |
| I can't believe people are still wearing this cologne. I bought it, and didn't even make it through 1/3 of the bottle. It honestly smells like lemon-scented Windex. There are much better scents out there. |
FAKE!!!!!!!!
|
| Review Date: February 10, 2009 |
| Reviewer: W. Martin, USA |
| Don't buy it! It was an absolute fake. To call it a cheap knock off would be too good. Whoever might have wrote a positive review must have been from the company. Everything was a nightmare. From what appeared to be a used bottle arriving late, to the return and refund policy which is an on going dispute three months after I returned the product with all the necessary information, and receipts to support my claim. It is sold cheap on here for a reason. Pay the extra $10.00 and buy a quality product at your local mall. |
Fake

| Reviewer: KKL, |
| The product came in the perfect looking box, but leaked while laying under the christmas tree. Come to find out the top metal seal had been taken off, the bottle filled with fake cologne then resealed. I should have known price was too good to be true for Issey Miyake! |
fake cologne

| this product was terrible and i will never order from them again..I ordered issey miyake for men and I got a fake version of cologne that broke me out plus when I received the package it was spilled in the box and the issey miyake label was peeling off the bottle |
danaged product received and no satisfaction from vendor
|
| Review Date: January 10, 2009 |
| Reviewer: M. Boran, California |
| Amazon had Designer Shops send me the ordered product. I received it late and damaged. The product, men's cologne, was leaking but the bottle was not broken. I contacted the vendor, Designer Shops, who informed me that I would be credited for the worthless item. It has not occurred and now I have to seek a resolution from my credit card by disputing the charge. I am dissatisfied with the product and will not purchase items of a similar nature from Amazon in the future due to the vendors Amazon selects. |
Leaking bottle

| Think twice before purchasing this product. At some point the metal top is going to start leaking which happened to me. It is a decent smelling cologne though. |
horrible

| Review Date: September 29, 2005 |
| Reviewer: Vivian Cutter, |
| It honestly smells a lot like that Axe body spray stuff. Simply horrible. I got a sample vial and gave it to my boyfriend and he refused to wear it, with good reason. |
