For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates. The journey ends with Dora Baghriche taking us to Panarea, a small volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, a volcanic land that dips into the vibrant blue of the water. The Pine is beautifully done: green, fresh, herbal but not harsh or overpowering like in Polo Green.

It is a perfect example of a great scent that will get overlooked and few will ever try precisely because of the confusing marketing. I very soon get the frangipani which is elevating and gives the fragrance a sort of "very posh sunscreen" vibe.L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme has more satellites orbiting around it than earth, and, according to the house's critics, some of it might be "space junk.

I find this fragrance to be very similar to Avon's "Tahitian Holiday" but a little lighter, a little more elegant and a little less coconutty. Gets a bit herbal in the middle, I was sure there was basil in this, without checking the note list, it's there, but accompanies the bergamot and the water notes efficiently, and blends so well with the 2 other notes.So many of their greatest fragrances are easily overlooked or lost in an admittedly confusing constellation of similarly named and similar-looking objects. Sillage and longevity being moderately low is compensated for easily by just applying more of it than one generally would.
