L’Eau d’Issey Pure Nectar de Parfum by Issey Miyake

On my skin, the peony, rose, and aquatic notes really stand out. I love this perfume; I don’t have anything like it in my collection. I’d define it as fresh and elegant floral.

Great perfume. I smell a lot of peony and honey, then as it dries down, violet appears along with the musky base that gives it personality. It’s the best in the line for me; it lasts all day, even past 12 hours until I shower. Projection is medium-high at first, but it’s noticeable, so don’t get fooled. It’s a masterpiece, but if you don’t like roses, forget it. The notes are super polished with impactful honey.

What a deliciously sweet perfume. The opening is honey and roses, which is what predominates. It’s sweet and floral, a bit strong for moderate use. It’s neither casual nor formal, more of a middle ground. I won’t be buying it because it doesn’t make me fall in love, but I must say it smells good.

I loved it at first because it really smells like nectar, like the honey from bellflowers. After two hours, on blotting paper, it became identical to the original Eau D’Issey, which I already own. I recommend it as a sweeter but equally fresh version, but I feel it’s not worth owning both. If you have the original, try layering it with honey perfumes to achieve something similar to Pure Nectar and longer-lasting, since the sweetness fades first.

I love this sweet rose with honey; it’s a cheerful and exquisite aroma. I use it daily, though it’s versatile, it predominates during the day and works in any season. I would definitely recommend it.

This perfume is rare and special; it doesn’t resemble any in my collection. I think it’s very pleasant for autumn, winter, and spring; it smells of honey and intense rose, though I don’t smell much pear. Lasting power and trail are moderate, but the dry down is very rich with that sandalwood and violet. I like it, but I don’t use it in warm springs or summers.

Not at all! It feels super synthetic and the scent gave me a headache. Bad, very bad!

I don’t like it at all; it was a gift so I’m keeping it and it’s full. It’s a sweet, overly floral perfume that’s heavy in the opening, but that’s not what bothers me. What I dislike is that pear note. Personally, I can’t tolerate pear; I just don’t like it. It has excellent longevity, so I recommend it to those who like sweet fruity perfumes.

On my skin, it started just like La Dame de Noir, but after two hours it turned into CK2 and disappeared without a trace. Weird. They share notes, but the opening is totally different. I loved it at first, but then it changed into something I already own. Luckily, because I almost bought it for that initial moment.

What a beautiful Pure Nectar. I came across a magazine page soaked in perfume and rubbed it vigorously on my wrist. It’s delicate but has personality. It seems proof that with willpower, you can create something refined, beautiful, and pink in every sense, setting itself apart from the plague of roses flooding the market. Maybe I’m saying something silly, but it reminded me of Panthere de Cartier. I don’t know if because of the notes or that aura of exquisiteness; this is the mature sister but equally admirable.
