Flowers, flowers, and more flowers: this is the second Issey Miyake I own, and it’s super floral, sweet, and fresh. It smells clean; my mom says it smells like youth. I love it, it’s the perfect scent for spring and for brightening your day.
Ozymandias
Intense and long-lasting, a potent lotus with a sweetness that wraps around the woman like a bubble of exoticism and elegance. Although the lotus dominates, you can notice floral nuances within the aromatic cloud; a well-constructed and uncommon detail. Ideal for night with a dress. It’s not exquisite or tender, but it is elegant: a bright, confident, and characterful woman. I love lotus so much that I even use incense sticks with that scent at home, so the only downside is if it comes off as overwhelming to someone the way patchouli does for me. A magnificent trail that fills the room and very good longevity. Critical points: it lacks the complexity, freshness, and development of the classic L’eau d’Issey, plus the dry-downs are different.

A warm and cozy fragrance with a very perceptible honey note. I’d wear it all year round except in summer, especially in the afternoon, because it makes me think of sunsets. It also evokes Christmas parties; they’re hard-to-explain sensations. Longevity on my skin is good; it softens over time but takes a long time to fade. Plus, it lingers on clothes for days, so make sure you really like it before applying it. There’s something slightly irritating about it right after application, which keeps it from being one of my favorites despite me liking it. It reminds me a bit of Elie Saab.
