So it may well or unfortunately also Issey Miyake's predecessor, as well as the flanker L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey fare. Certain flavors require complementary experience, as well as a penchant for peculiar aromas (no, not those of urinal stones). I find it to be very deep and alluring. Combined with the sea salt and the overall aquatic profile, as well as an earthy patchouli note, it made for a very tantalizing heart and an intriguing voyage, to say the least. Base Notes L’Eau Super Majeure opens up with a classic aromatic and citrus accord. It starts with rosemary, which dissipates is replaced by clary sage, following lime and some very fresh basil. Heart Notes Here, too, the futuristic technical theme is maintained in the proven synthetic aesthetics of a laboratory fragrance. Chemistry is in the air and this can have a pleasant atmosphere of an antique pharmacy. Thus, the Flanker is also true to its sci-fi cyberpunk genre with naturalistic and ancient elements in the spirit of Issey Miyake and the Japanese philosophy of duality.

Cashmeran is an intriguing synthetic compound that is meant to smell like a combination of amber and wool. Specifically, it’s meant to smell like cashmere, which explains the name. Overall, it’s a very comforting note with a warm character that’s quite relaxing.The perfume's longevity is impressive. It lingers on the skin for a considerable amount of time, making it a reliable choice for an active day. The sillage is also notable, not too invasive, but enough to establish a presence. As far as the usage or occasion is concerned, this is a very good office fragrance but it could be worn casually as well. Nevertheless, I would regard it as something that you could wear with a suit and tie when you’re going to work. Longevity & Sillage: Very solid in both cases; heat, humidity and perspiration can vary greatly the behavior of any perfume - especially in summer -, but it has a great performance. L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey by Issey Miyake starts off with a crisp and invigorating scent, leaning on notes of clary sage and rosemary. The sage lends a clean and herbal aroma, while the rosemary adds a slightly warm, pine-like and minty touch. This combination creates a refreshing aquatic aroma.

L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey by Issey Miyake is a perfume that attempts to capture the essence of a salty ocean breeze with a hint of masculine warmth. Released in 2018, it's a scent that leans towards the mature man, seeking to convey a sense of seasoned confidence. We also have a touch of sandalwood. Overall, you will experience an intriguing bouquet of muskiness, which is accompanied by this ambery, wool, cashmere accord which is quite alluring. That being said, although this sounds very warm, it’s a surprisingly refreshing fragrance. L’Eau Super Majeure d’Issey’s Life-Cycle, Wake & Strength As it settles, the perfume reveals a woody and synthetic character that is, unfortunately, not entirely harmonious. This may perhaps be due to the unexpected sweetness that pops up midway, tending to clash with the fresh and woody aspects. This clash, however, doesn't entirely detract from the perfume's appeal, particularly for those who appreciate a scent that pushes boundaries. And finally, the masculinity on this isn’t overbearing. This is a fragrance with a nice general bouquet. It’s not cloying in any way. It’s not too virile, as the term goes, nor is it too mild. It’s a nice middle of the road fragrance. Ocassions & Mood: I find it perfect for office, outdoor activities, chill time ... It's very versatile.

I love the bottle despite its ridiculously sized cap, which is actually almost the same size as the bottle itself! Nevertheless, I think it’s very stylish. It fits nicely in the hand. The bottle we reviewed was 50 ml in size. However, the larger 100 ml has a significantly smaller cap so it doesn’t become ridiculous!

The atomizer performs very well and it produces a clear, light mist that gently lands on the skin. It sprays a little bit too large to my taste. I prefer it when it’s a tiny little bit more focused. Nevertheless, this atomizer does perform well. As the fragrance transitions into the heart, the scent becomes more pronounced and robust with the introduction of cashmeran, a synthetic note that imparts a musky, woody and slightly sweet smell. Complementing it are the warm, resinous tones of amberwood and the earthy, slightly sweet aroma of patchouli. These middle notes give the fragrance a distinct spicy, woody characteristic with a synthetic undertone. Logically, to achieve that effect it uses several synthetic notes and that can upset enthusiasts of pure, simple and natural oils. This fragrance reminds me of my childhood, when we walked along the shore of the beach and played in the boats that were on the sand... So for me, the purpose of the fragrance is perfectly accomplished.

Overview

It's refreshing but intense, with a strong smell of sea breeze, sea salt and wet wood dried in the sun on the beach. Whereas the L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey is more accessible and would find more approval than its predecessor or alternatively thereby ifiger interesting and unique seems than its predecessor. This scent for the new century is already making a statement. Issey Miyake L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey Intense A playful citrusy sweetness, but without the Italoesque cestiness. A bit more natural in the sense of herbaceous. Which is probably due to sage and rosemary. Spring flowers merely as a reminiscence by the vanilla rounded.
