In the following section, we’ll evaluate and analyse L’Eau Super Majeure d’Issey’s individual notes and accords. Head Notes L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey by Issey Miyake starts off with a crisp and invigorating scent, leaning on notes of clary sage and rosemary. The sage lends a clean and herbal aroma, while the rosemary adds a slightly warm, pine-like and minty touch. This combination creates a refreshing aquatic aroma. L’Eau Super Majeure opens up with a classic aromatic and citrus accord. It starts with rosemary, which dissipates is replaced by clary sage, following lime and some very fresh basil. Heart Notes Longevity & Sillage: Very solid in both cases; heat, humidity and perspiration can vary greatly the behavior of any perfume - especially in summer -, but it has a great performance.

Somebody said that it was clean aquatic and very herbaceous and they quite liked it. Meanwhile, somebody said, that they feel like they’ve smelt it before, but they enjoyed wearing it anyway. Logically, to achieve that effect it uses several synthetic notes and that can upset enthusiasts of pure, simple and natural oils. This fragrance reminds me of my childhood, when we walked along the shore of the beach and played in the boats that were on the sand... So for me, the purpose of the fragrance is perfectly accomplished.I love the bottle despite its ridiculously sized cap, which is actually almost the same size as the bottle itself! Nevertheless, I think it’s very stylish. It fits nicely in the hand. The bottle we reviewed was 50 ml in size. However, the larger 100 ml has a significantly smaller cap so it doesn’t become ridiculous! Here, too, the water and especially the sea is a major theme. However, the L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey conveys in contrast to its predecessor, for my sensation, the approaching early morning. The sun's rays are warming. It is no longer so cold. The plants of the sand dunes smell stronger here than the mudflats or the washed up smorgasbord of algae, driftwood and secretions from the digestive tract of marine mammals. Nevertheless, this gem also seems to fall prey to great displeasure. Where I have my thoughts on this in my review of L'Eau Majeure d'Issey already written and use this review only to name the differences and similarities.

This Issey Miyake fragrance suits best for daytime use, perhaps during leisure activities or sports. It also transitions well into a business setting, making it a versatile choice. Although it leans towards spring and summer use, it could also work in early fall. The durability, as well as the sillage is also very solid here. The fragrance projects all its elements stably further without losing any of it. We also have a touch of sandalwood. Overall, you will experience an intriguing bouquet of muskiness, which is accompanied by this ambery, wool, cashmere accord which is quite alluring. That being said, although this sounds very warm, it’s a surprisingly refreshing fragrance. L’Eau Super Majeure d’Issey’s Life-Cycle, Wake & StrengthThe olfactory impression of metal and technology is reflected in the lid. Whereby by expanding the theme in blue color. A most matte, brushed metal. In the predecessor L'Eau Majeure d'Issey, the silver lid also gives the impression of metal, while here it got its bluish shimmer from heating. This flanker is also a bit sweeter, just as heated metal can also smell a brief moment. With regards to men, nobody was overly enamoured by it. Nevertheless, men above their thirties as well seemed to enjoy this fragrance overall.

As it settles, the perfume reveals a woody and synthetic character that is, unfortunately, not entirely harmonious. This may perhaps be due to the unexpected sweetness that pops up midway, tending to clash with the fresh and woody aspects. This clash, however, doesn't entirely detract from the perfume's appeal, particularly for those who appreciate a scent that pushes boundaries.

Closing Thoughts

Whereas the L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey is more accessible and would find more approval than its predecessor or alternatively thereby ifiger interesting and unique seems than its predecessor. It's refreshing but intense, with a strong smell of sea breeze, sea salt and wet wood dried in the sun on the beach. Generally speaking, this fragrance would tend to be more popular among women in their thirties or above. Women below their 30 thought it was okay, but nothing special.
