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! 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. Overall, l’Eau Super Majeure d’Issey seems to perform reasonably well. While it’s longevity only persists for a few hours, it offers decent sillage and projection during that time.

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.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). 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. 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. I prefer it for late spring, summer and early fall... And I have to say that I like this one more than "L'Eau Majeure d'Issey", although the OG may be fresher for hotter days. Meanwhile,this is definitely a daytime fragrance. That being said, I think it would be quite pleasant worn in the early evening as the sun goes down, in the height of summer. After all, this is primarily a summer fragrance that could potentially be worn in late spring and early autumn.

The olfactory impression of metal and technology is reflected in the lid. Whereby by expanding the theme in blue color. A most matte, brushed metal. In the predecessor L'Eau Majeure d'Issey, the silver lid also gives the impression of metal, while here it got its bluish shimmer from heating. This flanker is also a bit sweeter, just as heated metal can also smell a brief moment.

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 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. 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.

Nevertheless, this gem also seems to fall prey to great displeasure.
