The opening is briefly reminiscent of sun tan lotion with a hint of coconut, but it unfortunately quickly turns into an ambroxan dominant citrus aromatic scent with some spicy accords and a shower gel aroma. Fusion d'Issey Extrême is a new masculine fragrance that entices us to discover an entirely unexpected nature, emerging from the watery depths where contrasts between strength and freshness are pushed to extremes. Overall, I think the artistry and restraint in "Fusion" brings to mind a sort of daytime/semi-tropical ADG Profumo styling, which really works for me.

Fusion d'Issey is a good one, arguably Miyake's attempt to jump on a certain trend but I like it and hope to get a bottle at some point once it gets discounted properly, it's definitely going towards the top my wish list! An interplay of contrasts – between the intense freshness of the deep currents and the heat of magma – is pushed to extremes.What this lacks in versatility (the Fusion Extreme is more versatile and unisex-leaning IMO), it makes up for how easy it is to wear casually - on a daytime errand, in the gym, or for outdoor nights out in summer. The sweet, coconutty fig is rounded off by a slightly dusty woody accord that gives it some masculine suggestion in the drydown.

You may not think they are suitable to give as a gift, but they are perfect for your personal use (or perhaps for non-discerning family and friends). A bit like a fig yogurt in the nicest possible way, interspersed with lemony sandalwood/woody tones as it drys down. But in spite of bearing some obvious similarities to a number of mainstream "Crowd pleaser" fragrances, I think what Nathalie Lorson did here is notable and actually quite creative. Top notes are Coconut Milk, Fig Nectar and Lemon; middle notes are Sandalwood, Rosemary, Geranium and Cardamom; base notes are Ambroxan, Woody Notes and Patchouli.

I hope Issey Miyake continues to sell this line, it's a great midpoint choice between the light-citrus-aquatic L'eau d'Issey and the heavier Nuit d'Issey line. I just bought it cause I got sold at David Jones because of the sales assistant not because this was actually interested in this fragrance.

Fig nectar and coconut milk add some subtle nuances here in an unexpected way, which are really great. If you’re just a big Miyake fan and/or find the pretty bottle to be a nice addition to your collection, go ahead and enjoy it – just be prepared to bring an atomizer. Strangely enough, even though I dislike this stuff my girlfriend seems to love the aromatics of the dry down. It's a clear appeal to a different take of summery fragrance so your mileage may vary but I couldn't run away from this one fast enough. 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.

To me its a really nice coconut perfume with the addition sweetness of fig, abroxan and the smoothness of sandalwood smell.

Fusion d’Issey transforms this eruption of energy into a bold, nuanced composition, giving rise to a creative, endemic nature. After what for me is a bit of a loud opening, I can start to pick out distinct notes and accords, which provides a sort of narrative of what this fragrance is about. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Fusion d’Issey Extrême is a new masculine fragrance that entices us to discover an entirely unexpected nature, emerging from the watery depths where contrasts between strength and freshness are pushed to extremes.
