L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Summer 2017 for men

Scent story

To me this smells like a beachside fruit chaat cart in Pondicherry — grapefruit and kiwi sharp and juicy, pineapple caramelizing in the sun, coriander leaf doing that thing it does where it's either genius or madness. It's vacation in a bottle, no itinerary required. Nutmeg warms the middle like sand that's been in the sun all day, and then cypress and vetiver dry it down green and earthy — the smell of the tree line behind the beach, where the shade starts. It never gets heavy; it just keeps sparkling. The rare summer flanker that actually smells like summer, not like a marketing meeting. Beginner-friendly.
