Artisan Pure is the one that smells like 4 star hotel cleaner, not Blu Astral on typical skin (retort to a below comment). If necessary, I even salute the creations of perfumes that they manage to associate with their final proposals, the colors of their bottles, boxes, props, marketing commercials and the like.

In the second movement, a Largo maestoso in forest green, cypresses with their calming waves invite you to linger. This smells about 70% like Nuit d'issey, so if you own that fragrance remove that incense smell from it and add some citrusy freshness and you will get this fragrance. The blast of lemongrass and lime in the opening is strong for me, and then it settles down to an almost exact copy of AdG Profumo. My final verdict is if you don't like crazy twists in perfumes but still want to experience nuit d'issey line, go with this one.

What is this cologne, it is underrated I'm also happy that is underrated to be special, this is not a regular perfume such as Sweet it is completely different it is complex one reminds me of French Lover by FM in a simple way. When it dries out, I get very strong and vivid oakmoss, intensive patchouli, vivid cedar all well mixed and blended with distinctive amber. I, who was/is really struggling with homesickness and then took this beautiful perfume out of the bag, almost had to laugh and cry. With the latter it also shares the same aggresive virility, a short of “take it or leave it”, snobby outlook.

I think that is very versatile, relaxing and calming and you can wear it in every season, especially spring, fall and summer nights. I like how this same fragrance works during hot summer days ( without Intense ) , it is uniqe scent and people reacton is always in good way . Herbaceous, extremely robust, slightly salty, and exactly the opposite of the complaint "Not ANOTHER generic blue fragrance! It’s the same coriander and lime combination that is so incredible in Austral Expedition- indeed, these two are the closest relatives in the Miyake lineup. I've decided that the "bleu" in Bleu d'Issey refers to a feeling rather than color, or, in fragrance terms, aquatic (which it certainly is not).This is not for sure a flanker; it stands on its own and it has nothing to do with the original L'eau D'issey. No one would notice it because of its poor performance and if you manage to do it, it has now wow factor in it. Although a different scent entirely, this accord hints at another Jacques Cavallier creation, Opium pour homme.
