L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2014 for men

Scent story

To me this smells like the first day of a beach holiday, when you have forgotten everything except the sun. Grapefruit, kiwi and pineapple burst open — juicy, electric, almost neon — like a fruit stall on the sand. It is the smell of a boarding pass and a bad tan line, and it is glorious. Nutmeg and coriander add a warm, spiced depth to the heart, like skin that has been in the sun all day, and vetiver with cypress dries everything down to something green and grounded — shade under the pines after the beach. Pure, uncomplicated summer in a starfish bottle. Beginner-friendly.
