A lovely, fresh floral scent! Just beautiful. Casually, effortlessly chic. Bold but not too sassy. The florals in L'Eau D'Issey are more apparent than those in newer aquatic type scents-which is a great thing in my opinion. This to me is THE classic fresh floral. Not trendy or dated, just all around good stuff. I'll wear it and wear it proudly.

PS: My boyfriend says it's one of his favorites and he is a picky, "don't make me smell that fake stuff all the time" ... " I just don't like artificial scents" kind of guy. Amazing. I guess he doesn't think it smells like perfume per se; just smells clean and pretty. Reminds us both of Cool Water though I like this one best.

At the time of its release, this glorious scent was groundbreaking! Over the years it has influenced SO MANY other fragrances...which is quite a compliment in itself! I still wear it, although not often. As time moves on, so do I ~ and my tastes of scent & personal expression move forward. L'Eau D'Issey was a turning point in the modern history of perfumery - forever to be praised!

Hi from Doha Qatar,
Living in the desert with temperatures of a steady 38 c. and up, it is a miracle to be wrapped in a clear ozone breeze of this perfume, also it gives me a sexy magnetism for it is always vibrating of cleanness and crystalline water waves in a region full of petrol and natural gas refineries. Almost everybody wants to grab me and put his nose where iI have put the smell!
Very sexy here in Qatar.

L'Eau D'Issey is a clean floral and it remids me alot of Nautica women (IMO, they smell very similar). It does not smell bad but it is an ordinary scent. Nothing special but some what wearable. I would say this is a non offensive choice if you want to play it safe when choosing a fragrance. It reminds me of the 90's when I used to wear Nautica, it is not my type of fragrance......

Like legions of young women, I fell in love with this fragrance in the early 90s. Back then, it seemed an aquatic-floral dream, like a crystal-clear pond full of lilies. Now, it seems dated. The floral-Calone mixture still pleases, but it does not engage We may need another 10 or 20 years to look at it afresh. If it's still around. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for it, but I've moved on.

This has to be the worst fragrance to assault my senses and it has spawned many foul smelling copies. If I go into a store where this has been sprayed around I head straight for the exit. A true stinker!
