I first received L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme from a girlfriend who has always had immaculate taste, and her choices have all been well received. But L'Eau d'Issey stands out as the one that gets the most comments - all positive - from both friends and total strangers. It's actually become a bit of a laugh at my favorite Starbuck's because of the frequency that women in line will offer a favorable remark (it's happened once or twice with others, Victoria Secret's Very Sexy is one I recall, but Issey Miyake is way, way ahead in that respect). And like one of the other reviewers, I have had men also ask about it (usually with some disclaimer to start with).

I carry the refillable travel spritz when on the road since I consider this one of my basics. It works well but appears to leak a bit of volume - nothing major, and it doesn't smell up my toiletry bag or anything else in the suitcase, but I'll usually run out on longer trips.

I use Armani's Acqua di Gio and Chanel's Homme often but I've found a lot of people smelling like me. Di Gio is too common. Issey Miyake is just right- not enough people know about it and it smells wonderful.

It has fruity, light over-tones that leave you thinking of Tokyo during spring time. My girlfriend can't get enough of it and will wear my shirts when I'm away to be close to the scent. If you're willing to splurge on Acqua di Gio, you should try Issey Miyake.

L'Eau D'Issey is one of Miyake's older fragrances. His newer stuff smells similar but I don't like it as much. Really D'Issey is Miyake's Chanel No. 5. It's classic and really an one of kind fragrance that will make you want more.

I bought this cologne based on many many favorable reviews. I have over 20 major brand colognes and this is one of my favorites. It is ALMOST identical to Acqua DI Gio except it has kept in check the aspects of Di Gio I didn't care for. It is just a tad less sweet, perhaps by the addition of grapefruit to the top notes that gives it a more sophisticated distinction from DI Gio. There are no unpleasant tones to this cologne and it seems to last a while. The bottle is stylish and very tall compared to all of my other ones, but the box is pretty plain. It is not quite as casual as HUGO and would work well when you MUST make a good impression. It doesn't appear to be as overdone and popular as some others, so you can still mark your territory, perhaps because it's a bit pricey.

I work in a place that is 90% women, but even the men in my office are drawn to this fragrance. ALL of them have come to me individually asking what I was wearing. Many of them even asked me to write down the name so that their husbands, boyfriends, etc, could smell like I do!

I have 12 colognes now and this one is among the aqua di gio, burberry weekend scents - very light and aquatic, making it suitable for spring and summer. Issey Miayke stands out from the crowd though, because it works with your skin chemistry, until the point where you can't smell it but others notice it with a quick whiff. Yes, it does last for a long long time, and the top, middle, and low notes all work together to create a truly long lasting, quality cologne.

Guys, this is a great scent if you want your woman to go nuts. I can't keep my hands off my man when he wears it. I practically melt into him when I smell it.

This fragrance from Miyake, is the best. The scent last for hours, its not that appealing to the male gender but will surely captivate the attention of women.

This product is a supperior product! I use this stuff every week and many people comment on how good I smell.
People notice me more now that I have an attractive smell.

I got Issey for my husband for Christmas after a coworker told me about how wonderful it smelled on one of her ex's. Although at first, it smelled ok, it got worse with time. Thankfully, the scent only lasted an hour on him. I agree totally with the guy that said it smells more like lemon Pledge! I'll save my $50 next time!!!

Like many others I bought this cologne based on the reviews here and some other websites. Let me start out by saying that I honestly was disappointed when I first sprayed it on because for the first 20 minutes or so, all I noticed was the the overpowering citrus "lemon pledge" smell other reviewers have talked about (upon reading the box, I noticed it was because one of the ingredients was citronella oil). But after a while, the mosquito repellent smell faded and started to blend into a refreshing, almost imperceptible watery scent. The same scent/sensation you'd getting from sitting next to a fountain while getting a breeze from an orange grove in the distance. The cologne also lasts quite a while, which is good (I've noticed it on a shirt that I wore a few days prior).

I had a girl let me know what she thought of it the first day I used it because she came closer to smell me about four times then smiled and said she liked what I was wearing! (I've personally received more compliments for the other cologne I wear: Image by Cerutti, but I haven't really worn the Miyake out, yet)

I knocked off a star simply because I don't think this fragrance is for everyone. Many may not enjoy the complex, almost confused fragrance, especially if it doesn't work with your natural body chemistry. It would be a somewhat expensive mistake if it didn't. I'm also not a huge fan of citrusy colognes. It seems better suited for those in their mid-30's or younger (or some stylish 40-year-olds! :P ). Altogether a very original, complex, light and refreshing fragrance that maintains masculinity and has staying power and will be positively noticed (if it works for you). A must try!
