Fragrances the world does not need part 1

Uff it's already hard to write a review to the fragrance.
Can you leave but no good hair on the fragrance.
But I would like to warn the Mitschnüffler before such urgrottigen fragrances.
What can I say. The first second after spraying on I already knew that this would not be better.
The fragrance is non stop by a penetrating urine note ensnared and accompanied. In addition, something joins, which reminds of sweat smell.
I wonder what goes through the perfumer's head when he smells his result for the first time.
Here seems to have been probably mental derangement or loss of olfactory nerves in the game.
Otherwise I can not explain this here.
Patchouli makes the whole also not better. It reinforces the whole thing with a musty undertone.
I hope such missteps will be absent from the house of Issey in the future.
For this one there is only one.
Off into the bin.......

Strolling on the beach

As with its predecessor, the 50ml bottle is a hand and eye candy at the same time.
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.

Here, too, the water and especially the sea is a major theme. However, the L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey conveys in contrast to its predecessor, for my sensation, the approaching early morning. The sun's rays are warming. It is no longer so cold. The plants of the sand dunes smell stronger here than the mudflats or the washed up smorgasbord of algae, driftwood and secretions from the digestive tract of marine mammals.

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.
All this is with this one more on the aromatic surface.
Nevertheless, the proven and cherished mustiness from the beach also reveals itself here.

Here, too, the futuristic technical theme is maintained in the proven synthetic aesthetics of a laboratory fragrance. Chemistry is in the air and this can have a pleasant atmosphere of an antique pharmacy. Thus, the Flanker is also true to its sci-fi cyberpunk genre with naturalistic and ancient elements in the spirit of Issey Miyake and the Japanese philosophy of duality.

Whereas the L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey is more accessible and would find more approval than its predecessor or alternatively thereby ifiger interesting and unique seems than its predecessor.

Nevertheless, this gem also seems to fall prey to great displeasure. Where I have my thoughts on this in my review of L'Eau Majeure d'Issey already written and use this review only to name the differences and similarities.

Enclosed, turning to the negative reviews: I like mainly the Scotch whiskies from the island of Islay, whose raw materials are smoked by peat fire. Which is why especially the Islay whiskies are very smoky. One of my favorites (the 10-year-old Talisker, theme of the sea par excellence), or rather its aroma has already been called "toilet stone" by those who disdained him with me, while I float in whiskey heaven.
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).
No Front, since I am well aware that I am reviewing a designer fragrance here which, according to the fragrance pyramid, obviously has synthetic ingridenzien. For the L'Eau Majeure d'Issey and the L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey, however, I see the synthetic as not decisive, but rather its general aroma, as a stylistic device, which may well appear to one or the other nose bulky and unwearable. Just as the good old Talisker may share the same fate, whereby the purely natural Ingridenzien in itself. Its creator had no technological futurism as an intention, unlike the L'Eau Majeure d'Issey series. But for all three applies: 'Made by the sea"

The durability, as well as the sillage is also very solid here. The fragrance projects all its elements stably further without losing any of it.

Here I see what is revealed to my eye, the wind is tepid, the sun warm bleaches shells white I collect here. I taste sea salt and seaweed scent. The beach is fuller this time, here a dog in his happiness, there children cheerful. More not in the sound of the sea and waves that calmly beat against rocks.

An intense aquatic from Miyake

A different kind of aquatic scent, modern but serious and perfect for sporty businessmen.

It's refreshing but intense, with a strong smell of sea breeze, sea salt and wet wood dried in the sun on the beach.

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.

It isn't a classic and common aquatic scent; it's more serious, dark, woody and salty.

Logically, to achieve that effect it uses several synthetic notes and that can upset enthusiasts of pure, simple and natural oils.

- Longevity & Sillage: Very solid in both cases; heat, humidity and perspiration can vary greatly the behavior of any perfume - especially in summer -, but it has a great performance.

- Ocassions & Mood: I find it perfect for office, outdoor activities, chill time ... It's very versatile.

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.

- Conclusion: A modern and intense "woody aquatic" release with a place in my collection.

So enjoyable!

So yeah this is a chemical bomb, synthetic as hell! Now, that doesn't mean L'Eau Super Majeure is a bad fragrance, at least not an awful one. This is a very nice acquatic, some salty elements, citrus and some sweetness to it. I get sea water and cashmeran the most.

This is one of the lesser flankers in the whole Issey collection and yet is a frag I really enjoy dispite the synthetic feel, I liked it better than L'Eau Majeure

A million times better than L'eau majeure, this actually works quite brilliantly, like a cheaper version of Megamare (and it came first)

Jarring salty aromatic opening gives way to rich drydown. Unassuming synthetic marine scent for introverted, oceanic spirits. Personal.
