Looking for a small bottle I only found the body lotion instead (but it’s ok!).
I’m satisfied. If I’m not mistaken its fragrance recalls the perfume quite enough, a fine hyacinth and some cedar.
Overall performance is good, in line with a lotion I think.
zelenyi61 – :
At first it seams like realy sharp citrus/green and nothing more. But after few minutes it comes soft and fresh, romantic clean Scent. In half an hour it moderates to very nice, a bit sweat and fresh, optimistic notes, suit formos every day use. Stays for abuot 4-5 hours.
jnc761speagoessenda – :
I bought it for this summer and haven’t regretted it. It is fresh & floral, at first penetrating but later on just marvelous. Cool and relaxed and with excellent stay power. I pump just once at the nape of the neck and it stays the whole day, even after a swim!
tzu633intitytek – :
To me this smells nearly identical to Clinique Wrappings — the same blast of galbanum, a very green pungent scent — except that it is a toned down version. The opening note is the same, and then it slowly becomes a musky/flowery skin scent. It lasts quite a while, because I could still smell a faint powdery remnant on my forearm the next morning. This is a good fragrance for hot weather or for when you’re in the mood for a sharp green scent.
phoenix-valeriy – :
It’s a fresh white floral scent with an aquatic touch. It’s more on the masculine side in my opinion. Moderate projection.
novickkk – :
Overpowering muguet scent. Just not for me–and I used to wear Gucci Envy! :`(
guzal2011 – :
Lovely, fresh, and clean smelling with a sensual appeal. A successful blind buy for me; however, all traces of the fragrance seem to be gone after a few hours so that is a bit disappointing.
tlj381intitytek – :
This is a fairly accurate hyacinth. But it also smells like a man’s mouth tastes after brushing his teeth, the morning after a night of drinking. He hasn’t drank enough water so his mouth is a bit cottony. It’s fresh but you can still smell last night at the back of his throat when he kisses you.
This is my second attempt. I will test it again to see if it’s any different a third time.
Daddyharisma – :
I got this as a blind buy, bargain. What a lovely fresh spring/summer perfume – so fresh and delicate! So not unisex like someone said. Reminds me of Oscar de la renta “Live in love” Very beautiful galbanum scent!
Edit: Super long lasting and great sillage! Love love love this!
maksimus2202 – :
Not the best galbanum fragrance.
safo21 – :
I used to wear this a lot when it was just released, and then forgot about it for a while. Now that I repurchased, I am completely in love again! I think this perfume might not be for all, especially not for committed gourmand lovers. The perfume opens with an airy green note, which is a bit sharp combined with the citrus. However, the flowers soften the greenness just enough to make it a little easier on the nose. Then it reveals the hyacinth and other flowers. The hyacinth smells very true to life, as if you have one right next to you on the table. Together, the green notes, the flowers and the cedar blend in to that energizing vibe of taking a walk in the woods just after it has rained and the sun is starting to shine again: optimistic and airy freshness and a sweet woody breath from the trees. Absolutely lovely and uplifting!
gorizon – :
I am 100% with reviewer guest_ann that the 1970s fragrance Eau de Love should be relaunched with all the effervescence and vitality of the original. There’s a generation of us that came of age with this sweet, edgy, vibrant fragrance. The ladies in my local drugstore came to hate me because I would walk in every day after school and spray myself liberally with the tester. However, A Scent does not deliver my Eau de Love fix. It does remind me of older fragrances, such as Cristalle and Aliage. Very green. The jasmine comes through heavily for me and for some reason I get anise during the first few minutes. There is a note that arrives later that reminds me of the reformulated original version of Shiseido’s Zen, a fragrance launched in the 1960s that has never returned to its original elegance. A Scent lasts reasonably long on me. I like it, but please please please someone bring back Eau de Love!!
Alex099 – :
This is not good on me at all. I can’t stand the galbanum, which smells like ambroxan and ruins everything for me.
kryvunets – :
This is a nice, fresh and floral perfume. I personally don’t think it’s very exciting or groundbreaking. it’s just nice.
I mostly get the verbena,cedar and hyacinth. The hyacinth makes the scent a little powdery, which is nicely balanced by the lemon and verbena.
This is a very well done fragrance, but it’s just not my style 😉
Sillage and longevity are average.
perun – :
Absolutely fabulous. Sporty and fresh with a strong scent of jasmine flowers. Defubitely not the scent for all but that is fine as we shouldn’t all smell the same anyway lol
Binturong – :
Definitely a contemporary Chanel Cristalle with a touch of the no19 edt vibe but way more lighthearted, easier to wear without being just a lemony body spray. I could never wear those Chanels well but A Scent is perfect on me. I love the clean lines of the bottle. Seems to be quite tenacious on me.
ХэдХантер – :
Hey
Pm me if you want
Tell me is this like truely pink by Vera wang? The greenness?
Or, kenzo Leau par kenzo?
Um…. or like lemony green fresh Armani aqua Di Gioia?
Cheers
eduard asdf – :
Dans la veine de Cristalle mais un peu plus vert, moins floral, plus citrique aussi à mon nez. Les points forts de A Scent sont indiscutablement sa longue tenue et son sillage prononcé qui le démarquent du Chanel, plus discret, plus intimiste.
masterandryU – :
Green scents aren’t my thing and issey miyake a scent is definitely a green scent but I looove it
Judging by it’s notes I’d never think of buying it but now that I’ve tried it thanks to a good friend of mine I know that I have to buy it as soon as I find a good deal
nothing makes me think of spring like green plants and hyacinth and galbanum so no wonder this perfume is pure spring in a bottle for me.it opens fresh,green and crisp.like rain washed grasses,hyacinth flowers and galibanum with a slight lemony undertone(verbena?).gradually it’s lemony freshness fades away and it becomes a tad warm and sweet,as if spring sun started blooming couple of hours after rain and has dried wetness of nature.it becomes a fresh and at the same time a little sweet and a tad powdery floral scent in it’s drydown.very pleasant
Issey miyake a scent fills my entire body and soul full of a good feel.it’s simple but pure and original at the same time for me,it’s not a linear scent as it’s notes may suggest as it develops from a green and crisp grassy floral to a warm powdery musky floral.hyacinth is the main player in it and it appears very natural here
Sillage is amazing in first hour of application.longevity is pretty good too(+6 hours)
I also like it’s simple,original,heavy glass bottle and it’s automisour sprays very fluently and good.it’s cap isn’t green like the photo.it’s colorless glass
Highly recommended to whoever loves a natural,fresh and clean springy floral
Edit:
My friend gave it as a new year gift to me(Persian new year begins in spring) and I like it a lot.it has very high quality and true to life ingredients
یک رایحه خیلی طبیعی و آشنا
رایحه دم دمای عید.بوی سنبل و سبزه هفت سین و هوای پاک و کمی مرطوب که به تدریج مثل تابیدن آفتاب بهار،درعین حفظ طراوت و سبزی فضای عطر کمی گرمتر و شیرینتر و گلی میشه(نسبت ب شروعش وگرنه کامل خنکه کماکان)
شروع عطر،مرکباتی،سبز و آروماتیک هست،لیمو و باریجه و به لیمو کاملا محسوسن اما با گذر زمان رایحه مرکباتیش محو میشه و ضمن حفظ سبزی عطر،کمی حالت گلی،پودری پیدا میکنه
ماندگاری و پخش رضایتبخش،رایحه خیلی طبیعی و باکیفیت بهار
حتی اگه عطرهای سبز و گیاهی دوست ندارید حتما تستش کنید
Sanitar25 – :
I realise this is a weird pick as one of my “all time favourites” but… I really love it!
It’s an unassuming green floral in the classical manner, given a modern twist by the simple, spare beauty of it’s construction.
Nobody is better than Daphne Bugey at capturing an idea in it’s essence (Kenzo Amour, She Wood), and this, I believe, is her masterpiece.
Imagine lemon-verbena, with it’s smiling, earthy freshness, billowing into a complex little green gem, halfway between Cristalle and the air of a florist’s shop.
That’s what A Scent is to me, and I would wear it in an instant, if I could only find a bottle -_-
oyal60473 – :
Fresh fragrance love it
lbb415speagoessenda – :
I very clean, crisp scent packed with ‘green’. It very soapy with the powerful Lemon Verbena. Its a scent to wear if you just want to smell clean, fresh out of the shower and not wear something more complex.
Пися Камушкин – :
Um, this is a feminine fragrance? This soooo can be marketed as a unisex scent.. Anyone else getting this?
opq598speagoessenda – :
@Donattien .. thank you! I am searching for something that fits your exact description of this scent. I am now on a mission to hunt it down 🙂
vitea1234 – :
It smells like juices of the plants- a broken twig bitter and fresh, unfolding leaves in rain, sweet-scented small white flowers, a wet black soil, freshness of the spring morning, crisp air of the sea breeze, winter is still there in the background but something warm and green is opening already… not offensive but strong at the beginning,light,green,elegant,uplifting…
ikarus2222 – :
This was yet another “Blind Buy” for me. Reminds me of cut grass (not in a good way), and plants. If you’re looking for a “Green” scent, this is it. Too overwhelming for my tastes.
GajiAccutan – :
This is amazing to me. Different from any other..
On my skin it’s all about hyacinth.
Fresh (but not in a “summer” way), floral, feminine and interesting.
I would use it in spring, fall and winter, day use.
Love it.
jnp242JeomiWogkig – :
floral,clean,cold,not longlasting,young girls would love this,spring or summer will be the best season to wear.
genax4 – :
Holy basil … is that Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo circa 1975 I smell? This is a really cool fragrance. Too bad I’ve only discovered this gem after it’s decommission. Shucks. Issey Miyake A Scent (2009) is a pure offering of Zen freshness great for the hottest day. The stoic Buddha in the garden this simple scent remains true from spritz one to lingering end. The verbena plays up the waxy lemon reminiscent of the lemonhead candy I loved as a kid. This perfume literally makes my mouth water. It’s not only about the citrus though. Pay close attention and you might find a whisper of spearmint brightening up the crushed tomatoes leaves others have mentioned. The hyacinth is lovely as well. A perfect blend of purple and green. A Scent is not overly sweet and has just enough silage to elicit compliments. More fresh than sexy, I tend to wear this fragrance just for me, it helps me to achieve focus. A Scent has a definite spiritual quality perfect for either quiet contemplation or elegant motion. This is THE fragrance I’d wear to the gym, ballet, fencing or yoga class. That is if I actually did any of that really cool stuff.
fanfaron – :
Came across this perfume at the Duty Free shop at OR Tambo airport and wasnt i just delighted to get this after a long search. I am a fan of crisp clean fragrances, very feminine and blends well with my skin.
I give it a thumbs up!
kam-chadal – :
Recently acquired a nice 7.5 ml mini of this fragrance:) It’s a very zen Japanese juice! Crisp, smooth green grassy accord with prominent hyacinth note. It feels like walking in a Japanese garden at dawn, the dewy water drops glistening on green leaves, lemon trees and green white flowers. Modern, natural and minimalist. In the vein of Cristalle by Chanel, but without the austere damp pond and aloofness. Just nature in a bottle.
scent: 7+/10
longevity: 5/10
sillage: 5/10
dzhonaamgelochka – :
fresh, sweet, bold, floral. I love it!!! not for everybody, though
Cherry-nk – :
The sharp soap in the top note compelled me to return it. (Blind-bought it at a Winners recently, despite its having been discontinued–guess it’s been floating around for a while.) The other notes are bright citrusy (if somewhat synthetic-smelling), but my sinuses are so offended by soapiness that I couldn’t even spray this on my skin–just a personal intolerance.
spiritnv – :
This is a beauty, in my opinion. Very fresh and vibrant; it perks me up!
ZhdanovSava – :
clean and fresh, a little soapy, I think it smells great. It’s not aggressive, but it’s there. It’s suitable for the ones who don’t like a scent that is too strong and overpowering.
noris – :
Japanese perfection. One of the most purest, cleanest and singular scents I’ve ever smelled. Crisp. Bitter. Minimal. Unforgettable. I love the hyacinth and because of its bitterness I would say that this perfume is suitable also for men.
Traxigree – :
I love layering this fragrance with Avon’s Haiku skin softener. They both blend beautifully together.
jedi23 – :
great my all time favourite very nice smell
palermo – :
I have already reviewed this one. Just wanted to add that I tested this and YSL In Love Again (new packaging) side by side. Very similar opening. More of a musky note in A Scent and oodles more staying power than In Love Again. This one wins hands down.
lyocha71 – :
I waited so long to write a review on this. It’s crisp and fresh with hyasinth and a dry down of jasmine.I bought this for the simple reason it had jasmin.I’m not dissapointed.A scent is like the first days of spring, it’s like how it feels after a rain, the dew drops on grass. It makes you feel so alive with nature.
A beautiful scent that you cannot find in todays market.Not many will appriciate this scent but for me this is unique and totally worth having.
It’s true it may seem unisex but don’t be fooled the florals open up at dry down and makes it a feminine scent.
Bdfy27 – :
When I read that it has a likeness to Chanel Cristalle I immediately ordered 2x 30ml EDT bottles. My thirsty skin wants an EDP. Pity. Sprayed it on paper and on my skin. On paper the lemon verbena lingers. Rather loved the pungent notes on paper. On my skin it went incredibly soft incredibly quickly. I truly like it but suspect I’ll need to buy a good few bottles as I’ll have to douse myself in this 4x a day if I want to fully appreciate this pretty fragrance. The pink version in EDP got fair reviews so must try that too.is
This is a limited edition. I have just found a 100ml EDT and immediately purchased that. I need to stock up as this will be my spring frag once our winter leaves. It’s got surprisingly good staying power for such a soft fragrance.
matador777 – :
The drydown is pretty and feminine and floral…not a light scent at all… decent lasting power.
Espasito – :
This is a close clone of Chanel Cristalle albeit more affordable. I have seen some reviews stating that this is quite similar to Gucci Envy so I ordered this and sprayed it. I waited for it to dry down but it still bore no resemblance whatsoever. Instead this was very earthy, sharp and masculine throughout (not my type of fragrance) as opposed to fresh, citrusy and floral like Envy. This just proves again that no scent on the market right now comes even close to the beloved and missed Envy.
Braidsdak – :
So, it just so happens that L’eau D’issey is my all time fav, summer editions from 2013/2014 are my favs with the original-I can’t chose! Any who, I found this on sale for 19.99 for the 50 ml bottle. When I first sprayed it it was terrible. It reminded me of a cleaning product! So it has sat for about 6 weeks within my collection! So I start looking today at my collection and I think about how I bought this and didn’t really give it a fair chance! So I sprayed it, and I’m surprised! It smells Totally different than it did the first time!
It’s actually very nice! It wouldn’t be the first choice for many people, in fact I would at most people wouldn’t like it. I think that only true perfume lovers would appreciate this, it takes time to develop into what it truly is, and again, only true perfume lovers will take the time to do that! If you have the patience, wait it out!
rustikzaharov – :
Just bought this as a a blind buy. It smelled really nice in the bottle but went really rank on my skin like rotten flowers. Think I’ll hang on to it and try it again in the summer.
Update: nope, still rotten, had to give it to a friend and it smells gorgeous on her so it must be me lol.
LIMP BIZKIT – :
I bought this in readiness for warmer weather. It was a blind buy and inexpensive. I am pleasantly surprised by how much I like this one. I have the edt and the longevity is really good, I could still smell the perfume after 7 hours. it has moderate sillage but as it is for spring I do not mind.. I smell fresh, green,spring in this bottle.
My first Issey Miyake perfume and I am happy with my purchase.
naemnik – :
I bought this blind based on notes and reviews – and I believe it could become my favorite floral. The verbena and lemon mix well with the floral notes and make it very green and fresh and the galbanum keeps it from being too sweet. I’ve been looking for a floral that is fresh and green and this is a good one. Longevity and sillage are moderate on me.
adrenalin110 – :
Just bought this based on your reviews. When you first spray it, it is strong and pungent but if you let it linger for a few seconds just to let settle a bit, it is a nice clean, fresh out of the shower fragrance. Has been using it in the office, finds that it last a bit and like today when they have the heat turned on full blast, the scent surrounds you nicely.
toys-35 – :
Not impressed with this: this was rather dull and insipid. On me it was overwhelmingly generic white floral with no complexity or evolution, just a sharp floral note that faded quickly and that didn’t last for long. I didn’t get any of the citrus or woody notes. Boring, uninspired, generic and artificial.
linaice – :
Clean floral. Perfect for a summer day.
ssBullDoGss – :
It seems to be simple but makes a strong impression – at first I didn’t really like it but the second or third day that I was using it I suddenly started to love it. Ideal for spring and summer, makes me feel clean, fresh and light throughout the day and its also elegant in some way.
fnekrasov – :
a master piece 🙂 my all time favortie
ludmila30977 – :
To me this scent is almost identical copy of a classic fragrance Jean Louis Scherrer (launched 1979) minus animal notes, at drydown it turns more subtle and delicate. Nice scent, but I can´t imagine wearing it, for me it is somehow disturbing, maybe the strong hyacinth note. I appreciate very much the puristic bottle design.
If this is considered to be a modern fragrance, what a bomb JLS must have been 30 years ago!
elenrudakova46 – :
A scent for an elegant, intellectual, far sighted minimalist (of any gender). Not ascetic by any means, in fact it is quietly luxurious.
It smells like pine, lemon and some sterile cleansing solution. Cold and mentally recharging and quite lasting considering its imponderability.
adopourfadiuh – :
Tried this in winter and was not impressed! Sharp, strong.. Tried it again today, a hot, sunny day and completely different story!!! Fabulous.. I think this comes out different in the heat, really lovely if you time it right.. Fresh, clean, refreshing,energising, crisp..all the things you need in hot weather. You can smell hyacinth, some jasmine, tea but mostly prominent lemon verbena, the loveliest, crispest freshest lemon verbena, fell in love with that note! I don’t get woodsy at all, very green instead!
Great sillage, good longevity, no headache, no cloyines, can’t see using it much but there are days when only this will do, so glad I do have a bottle!
paskskymn – :
I love this, and will probably be my next purchase. It’s intensely woody in me, opening up with the woody accord instead of the green flowery one. The hyacinth and jasmine remind me of my beloved Cristalle, but this is a very pure and natural scent, without the urban sophistication of Cristalle. Very masculine as well, I think it actually suits my husband better than me!
tankard – :
I wrote before in May2013, now is end of March2014 and here is still cold. I so wanted spring to come, so I decided to spray something light and “springy”. Now I feel hyacinth , daffodils, a hint of lilac. I like it even better , then when I bought it.
Strateg – :
All of you that didn’t like it and bought anyway: that’s my precious smell and I love it (kind of blends well with my skin and everybody says I smell good) so, I accept donations! loll
2b – :
Wow… I was SO dissapointed with this scent. I tried it on my skin as it was available for a good deal, and normally I absolutely LOVE Issey Miyaki scents, especially the l’eau d’issey range. And after seeing what the notes are (on this site), I had my hopes up high. I love cedar-citrus scents, and I also like the notes hyacinth and jasmine in perfumes, so it looked promising. But boy, the combination of these is in reality really bad. The flowers were smelling sour and bitter from the cedar (I think). I guess those igredients just took the best away from each other. I could smell the cedar, but not in a nice way. The scent reminded me a bit of bitter green honeysuckle blossom (Yves Rocher had something like that, I remember), which I like better than this and is actually quite nice, but “a scent” is too bitter, really bad. Or perhaps, it might be that the tester was very old and had turned or something, because it was seriously not nice at all. And it didn’t remind me of Chanel no 19 at all as some reviewers wrote…hmmm… So forgive me if this review is based on an old sample. I do not know.
Anyway, I would say, if you want Issey Miyaki, and you really want something fresh, beautiful, watery, dreamy… Please do try the new “l’eau d’issey Lotus”. It is beautiful! There you also have hyacinth and jasmine, but they are so pretty and the scent is uplifting and light, with lotus and the watery notes, and with the right type of wood in the base it just works so good together. I’t doesn’t have any bitterness. It is SO much better. It beats “a scent” by a million times in my opinion, at least it beats the tester I tried.
kagren – :
I got this based on recs here. I love citrus green woody…and this fragrance has little to do with that. If I could rename it I’d take those three keywords out. For me…really floral. I’m not getting fresh, green, woody. It starts out as a very strong white floral and I had to wait two hours before it turned soft woody. I Like the dry down but not worth the strong start just to get there. If you put it on clothes the cedar never comes out, just stays sharp floral. Maybe too feminine and floral for this Laurel.
iiv049speagoessenda – :
very quiet green scent, beautiful…
very strong at the beginning
I love it…
It stays surprisingly long on clothes.
oleshka_23.02 – :
A Scent by Issey Miyake for women is a burst of fresh, stem-snapping jasmine with bright lemon verbena.
To me, there’s nothing sensual or mysterious about a fragrance like this. It’s pleasant and sunny, along the lines of The Vert au Jasmin L`Occitane en Provence for women or even Classic Banana Republic.
And that’s just fine. It’s like amplifying the fact that you just took a long bath or shower and you emerged squeaky clean with a hint of soap trailing behind you. As others have said, the fragrance doesn’t have staying power. I guess, it doesn’t need to.
This is not the fragrance experience I seek, so I won’t keep the small bottle I own. It is nicely blended and (as the previous reviewer said) uplifting.
olavar – :
It is wonderfully fresh and clean scent. I wouldn’t say that it’s too green and sour. To me it’s very refreshing and uplifting. My only issue is that in the beginning the hyacinth is a little too heavy and overpowering. When a little later its strength is gone, the dry-down is absolutely divine. This fragrance is very elegant and unique. Has a pretty decent longevity. Great for summer time.
АндрейК – :
I received a sample as a freebie when I purchased a full size Angel tester. ‘A Scent’ is a fresh, green fragrance and I’m quite impressed – probably not enough to buy it, but all the same, it’s very pleasant.
diezelllll – :
absolutely lovely, a woody smell that greatly complements my natural odour, as well as my environment (I live in a city, across from a small park). it’s absolutely beautiful and blends well with Coco Chanel for the colder days of autumn leading into winter.
ivan14130 – :
I absolutely love this. Fresh, clean, and soft. One of my favorites. This is way better than all the “fruity florals” out there. Really shocked at all the dislikes. Great everyday scent.
kaeda – :
I dont really hate this but wouldnt buy a fb either. I got myself a sample of this perfume and found veeeery soapy on my skin, a bit too much for my taste. I guess a few flowers thrown in would make this a bit sweeter. Good longevity though.
Update: It’s been 4 hours and I can still smell it in my arm, even after a quick shower. It smells softer now and the sharp note I smelled in the beginning is gone, thankfully. Still not a “oh my, I need a bottle” scent.
vipbomberoo7 – :
i hate it so much. it’s too strong and overpowering. i can smell it on me for hours on hours. so i guess the longevity is good for those who like this’
easy75 – :
I truely loved this fragrance. Its fresh, clean and not overbearing.
NBVUDGYTCX – :
I have this one. Soft flower. Seems iris and lily of the valley.
cqv684speagoessenda – :
I truly, completely, thoroughly love this fragrance. It gives me a feeling of walking in a forest, on wet grass with mild white flowers around. My friends like it on me and i get a lot of compliments whenever I wear it. 🙂
kranbzaksa – :
So many dislikes!
I understand that it can be a little scary before it dries down, it’s quite sharp and very citrus-like. I can also understand how you can have very little patience with it, as with ‘fresh’ and ‘citrus’ fragrances you want instant results.
However the drydown is very pleasant, a very fresh, minimal citrus-woody, nearly ICY jasmine. It almost quenches thirsts and restores focus, which is quite unusual if it comes to jasmine fragrances as they can be migraine inducing. This one is uplifting, watery and lovely. As if someone froze whole jasmine petals in ice cubes and served it with lemons.
Thumbs up from me!
Smayldemetre – :
Probably the freshest jasmine on the market. When I think Floral Green I immediately think of this fragrance.
The lemon verbena & galbanum make it very soapy to my nose. It reminds me of certain older fragrances. Chanel No. 19 a bit. It’s probably due to the slightly bitter accord from the galbanum.
борман – :
i love it…. i love it…. i love it 🙂 its fresh. i sense jasmine, strong but fresh and doesnt smell like an old lady perfume.
I just love it a lot. Long last… it stays on my skin all day long. Once, i’ve tried to spray it on my neck before go to bed. When i woke in the morning, its still there. I can still smell it.
Rock_Fanat – :
This is a gorgeous floral green perfume that is frequently misjudged because of its strong head notes.
The top notes are jasmine (green), hyacinth (green) and verbena (also green!). On the heart, the flowers and the verbena remain for a very long time, and a note of galbanum (another green one!) appears. This note stays up to the very end, along with a lovely touch of cedar. I really don’t get any lemon in this fragrance.
The perfume has lots of green and woody notes, but is still very feminine. I have to wait almost 20 minutes for the strong top notes settle down (I really don’t mind, because I love these notes!) and then I get the feeling of walking through a verdant forest on an early autumn or spring day, right after a heavy rain. It gives me a very peaceful and relaxing feeling.
To top it all, the simple and clean bottle is just beautiful and insinuates perfectly what’s inside.
A great scent for summer, spring and even cold or rainy days, very versatile!
st1fler_76 – :
It’s fresh, it’s cool and doesn’t annoy my nose…as the time goes by it gets better.
I am a big fun of Miyakes perfumes!!!
TutsAppotosof – :
It’s like breathing fresh cool air after being cooped up after a while. So refreshing AND so much like Cristalle. ♥
Happy Perfuming!
vidoge – :
a scent opens very green and floral. The hyacinth and galbanum are quite present in the first hour of the fragrance, reminding me of a less austere, haughty version of the fabulous Chanel N°19 EDT. I also smell some lily-of-the-valley in those first hours.
It conjures up images of mountains. Crisp air and icecold streamlets, flowers growing between the rocks.
Some time later, a scent turns quite soapy, a little harsh even. When that distinct soapy note, that I don’t like that much, is gone, a beautiful, slightly spicy powdery, green accord appears, lasting well into the drydown. Oh how I love that drydown, it is so feminine and refined.
I don’t really smell anything citrussy, no lemon and no lemon verbena, but that’s fine by me, I don’t really like prominent citrusfragrances.
a scent has good longevity; a single spray lasts more than six hours, but I do have to hold my nose close to my arm.
I can imaging a scent to be a wonderful fragrance for spring, but now that autumn lies heavy on this land, a scent fits the icy, crisp mornings and the grey overcast skies equally perfect.
The bottle of a scent is absolutely gorgeous. Robust and heavy, but very attractive.
nge068speagoessenda – :
“A Scent” is not *just* a scent! It’s a jasmin patch next to an herbal garden near the banks of a crystal clear lake where the moon is full and the fragrances are cool and heavy in the air……
Fresh, (verbena & amalfi lemon), pretty: (jasmine) and deliciously ‘powdery’ (cedar on a base of galbanum) and all this without that it loses its feathery-light air of cool prettiness. A treat for every occasion and age.
Silage is: “fresh jasmine wrapped in a cool breeze of cedar with a dash of lemony moonlight” — Longevity: 6+ hours.
A must try for people who like light scents that still have impact without feeling ‘heavy’…..A scent to feel pretty and at ease with. A scent that is easy to love…

Wild jasmine , bunga melati di tengah semak belukar , ada aroma mistis juga . Sementara Burberry London melati di kebun rumah . Pastikan parfum yang anda beli masih dalam kondisi bagus !

I bought this for my Mom, and absolutely love it on her! It’s a clean, green, minimalist composition. Cedar and light white flowers. And very near a unisex fragrance! A new classic!

Green, clean, clear and with white flowers and the spark of cedar. A thunderstorm is rolling in, as I type this, after a hot day and the air is cooling down and becoming more comfortable while steel grey clouds gather and I just want to run down to the beach and watch the storm come in. That’s what this fragrance evokes. Love the mood!

I have the edt, thus it’s not that longlasting, but compared to other edts I have, lasting power is ok. I like this perfume, it’s quite distinct. The most powerful note is definately the cedar, which smell constantly as the perfume developes. I get no jasmine at all, maybe because of my chemistry, and as knife said, the lemon isn’t that freshcut lemon, imo is th scent of an overriped lemon, it’s rather fruity than harsh, it’s not bad. The lemon verbena is noticeable too, but it doesn’t give that dishwasher scent that it used to have in other perfumes. This is a summer fragrance, more green, less flovery. I also detect some burnt note, which is quite noticable. Does someone have any idea what is it? Or it’s just my chemistry?

A relative recently reviewed this fragrance. As you saw she really dislike it and on her it was bad,but not that bad in my opinion. When I tried it was a ok fragrance.I really love lemon,verbena,bergamot,grapefruit and so on…With white fresh flowers,virginia cedar.But the lemon its way to dark,not the bright sparkling citrus!The flowers is heavy and boring and way to much of them no virginia cedar. And thats it! Heavy lemon heavy flowers! Well after 20-30 minutes itis much better. In the future I maybe buy it again…
