Much better than Jean Paul Gaultier’s Le Beau from 2020; it reminds me a lot of that woody coconut since Gaultier’s leans too heavily on the beach sunscreen memory. This one is more woody and complex, with more notes that make it very interesting.
Miyake’s most recent creation to date is a summer-cut fragrance, fresh, easy, and therefore not too risky. It smells good, basically like fig and coconut. As it dries, I sense a certain mineral accord. I think that’s where the advertising campaign with that volcano is heading. It’s pleasant; it doesn’t hit the nose with a chemical mess as often happens with most perfumes using those notes. I see it as suitable for any age, from adolescence to fifty (or beyond if you feel so). As for longevity, the trail and duration are a bit tight: two hours of moderate trail and another two on the skin, tested between 18°C and 24°C. In short, it’s okay but I don’t find it a groundbreaking work. Its price should stay below €50 for 100ml.
Much better than Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau 2020. It recalls that woody coconut, but Gaultier smells too much like beach sunscreen. This one is woodier, more complex and has more notes that make it very interesting.
In the box it’s very good; it changes quite a bit on the skin. I like it. It starts with a sweet, green, and fresh blend. In the first phase, I perceive fig and coconut very mixed. It’s known that Issey doesn’t tend towards natural scents, but despite the chemistry, it’s pleasant. It vaguely reminds me of sun cream. The second phase is less fresh, more sweetish and green. It remains very pleasant, perceptible in bursts: fig, patchouli, coconut, and woods. This phase is slightly worse than the previous one, but relaxing. The last stage arrives very quickly, within a couple of hours, and you’re inside. Here it feels more woody, projects very little though another couple of hours remain. It feels more artificial, it doesn’t displease at all, but it’s the worst part. My wife liked it, although it resembles Loewe Solo Mercurio, which I also own and seems of higher quality, although the scent itself is a bit odd with that citrus-sweet dissonance. Anyway. Versatile, provided it’s in an informal setting. Modern, green, clean sweetness, despite being synthetic. 100ml acquired.
They sent me samples and to be honest, I quite liked the scent. I don’t find it very groundbreaking or novel, but it is rich and pleasant. As for longevity, it’s quite scarce, which is nothing new with many flankers from this designer. I recommend testing it directly on skin to check the evolution and duration.
Tested it today on a Sunday and I didn’t like it. Generic and scant. The coconut is very artificial; generally, the whole fragrance is. Another one from the Japanese designer that won’t appeal to me, and again Mrs Larson diving into the commercial stuff that sells. Goodbye, I’ve seen you handsome.
To me, it’s a perfume that, without leaving me speechless, produces a pleasant sensation. Good work by Nathalie Larson, somewhat misunderstood in my view. An EDT that opens with fresh coconut pulp (not the kind we get here in Spain) and lime. It teleports me to Chiang Mai, a place where a local curry is prepared and sometimes fresh coconut is used as a vessel, topped with fresh lime and herbs. It has a herbal touch, perhaps due to rosemary in the heart, and a soft, sweetish wood (probably ambroxan and patchouli) that finishes a youthful, carefree composition. I see it for summer, with jeans and a t-shirt, for a drink in the mid-afternoon. It doesn’t have high projection nor does it aim for it. As it dries, it has the air of Malibu with pineapple or a similar cocktail; if it’s the little roll you’re looking for, it has its charm. I don’t think it will sell in excess, so it could be more exclusive than Le Beau. Is it worth the asking price? There I have my doubts. Despite what you read, it’s a totally unisex perfume. Greetings from my coconut tree.
After testing it for months, I would change my previous review, but I prefer to leave it to see the contrast. It becomes tiring, even boring. I bought Solo Mercurio, which it resembled, and in the end I used the Loewe one more than this. It’s not bad, I like it, but it feels synthetic and generic, perhaps which is why it tires quickly. When I let people try it, they like it at first. In short: it surprises untrained noses and pleases them initially, but if you wear it habitually, it tires you out fast. I wear it occasionally to work when I know I’ll be alone; I haven’t found the perfect occasion yet as I always end up reaching for something else.
I understand the geological metaphor: a fusion of rocks, water, lava, and desert. That bottle, with colours of magma, sea, and stone, emerges triumphant, hot and energetic. It fuses lactonic and syrupy aromas of coconut and fig with citrus, woods, amber, and flowers. It creates a fresh, warm, and sweet-and-sour sensation that evolves into flower-covered woods. The fruit nectars, soft spice, and elegant sandalwood permeate the fragrance, though as it dries, the rustic woods and geranium take centre stage. The aquatic ambroxan notes startled me for a moment, but only briefly. It’s sweet, fruity, ambered with soft spicy and floral touches, balanced by a woody counterpoint. Warm and fresh at the same time, liquorice-like and very fruity, designed to compete with Sauvage, Stronger With You, D&G K, and YSL Y. Suitable for all ages, not overly complex, slightly synthetic, and appropriate for informal occasions. Try it before buying.
I understand the geological metaphor: rocks, water, lava and desert fused in a bottle of magma, sea and stone colours, triumphantly emerging from the heat. This blend of milks, coconut honey and fig with citrus, woods, amber and flowers creates a fresh, warm and sweet-and-sour sensation that evolves into wet floral woods. The fruity nectars, spicy touch and elegant sandalwood permeate the fragrance, though as it dries down, more rustic woods emerge and the geranium takes centre stage. At first, the aquatic notes with ambroxan put me off slightly, but they passed quickly. In short, it is sweet, fruity, ambered with spicy and soft floral touches, balanced by a woody counterpoint. It is warm and fresh at the same time, syrupy and very fruity, designed to compete with Sauvage, Stronger With You, D&G K or YSL Y. It suits all ages, isn’t overly complex, has a synthetic edge (I notice it, though I’m not an expert) and is ideal for casual occasions. Try it before buying.
Fusion and Kenzo Black come out almost identical; then it shifts slightly with the fig note. It’s not my passion, nor would I buy it for daily use in well-ventilated, informal settings. I prefer Miyake’s Sport. The opening of Fusion smells of coconut but then it sits very close to the skin. It’s like mixing Kenzo with Jean Paul’s Le Beau.
Tested in-store: the assistant poured it onto a tissue and it smelled like nothing. She applied it to my arm and it still had no scent. Half an hour later, I leaned in close and it smelled of sweet fig, very shy. With this performance, I understand why they might release an ‘Extreme’ version later.
Fusion d’Issey. I like the concept and the composition. I bought the 100ml bottle, and when I use it, I’m reminded of a blue linen shirt, a summer night, dense and humid heat, some wayfarer sunglasses, and freshness upon application. Fresh but fruity, not gourmand but citrus/lactonic, of those that make you want to reapply it N times. The dry-down leaves a linear scent; I won’t lie, but it doesn’t disgust me at all and I don’t intend for it to evolve much. The notes are listed at the top in the details, except for geranium, which feels all in the described order. It’s versatile, relaxed, ideal for heat, although it works well in other seasons too. It won’t have that refreshing summer effect, but it will gain in longevity. A great success for Issey Miyake. Longevity: 7/10 (on clothes 9/10). Projection: 6/10 (explodes upon exit, then recedes after 45 mins). Versatility: 9/10. Aroma: 9/10. Note: 8/10. Best regards.
Hello everyone. I was gifted a sample. I can’t deny it smells delicious, a subtle and soft aroma. The downside is its poor longevity on the skin. Indeed, it is 100% unisex.
Miyake perfumes are inspired by nature, mixing synthetic and natural elements to give subtle results with moderate longevity and an oriental touch. This is the most European: it starts sweet with synthetic fig and coconut, sounding ethereal, then moves to a dry woody accord with aromatic patchouli and prominent ambroxan. It starts creamy and ends dry. That’s its charm. Is it a bad fragrance? By no means. It smells very good, is youthful, and evolves, which is appreciated nowadays with so many linear and cloying perfumes that bore. I like the fig and patchouly note; it has a delicate, creamy sweetness. The ambroxan is well-crafted, subtle, and clean. Suitable for a young man with seductive qualities. Those around you will enjoy smelling it, and it’s very current, a trend from 2020 onwards. There are fashions in perfumes too, just as in clothing. It’s new times.
The first time I tried it in a perfumery, directly on my skin, I thought it smelled like watermelon bubblegum, but sweeter and heavier. Over time, I couldn’t stop bringing it to my nose; it’s an explosion of sweet aromas. Although not declared, I sense a faint touch of watermelon or calypso, very natural. The coconut and lime are there but very subdued. As it dries down, cardamom and rosemary appear, giving it a soft, aromatic touch that persists until the end. Although it’s a summer scent, the woody notes in the base, ambroxan, and patchouli give it enough weight to last through autumn, and even in winter in heated, enclosed places. Being sweet, it’s sexy and women love it; as it’s not intrusive, I recommend it for night dates, cinema, theatre, or concerts. Ideal for casual wear, not for a white shirt. The only downside is the longevity: it projects for 2 or 3 hours, then there are unexpected waves at 4 or 5 hours. Afterwards, it persists for almost 12 hours, but close to the skin. It’s compared to Kenzo Homme EDT Intense (and also Natura Homme Emotion), and yes, they have a similar DNA, but I liked this more because, unlike Kenzo, it’s not so intrusive. Kenzo lasts longer and projects more, but it’s too intrusive and doesn’t give the same effect on dates. Should I recommend it? Yes, unequivocally, although it’s not something to buy blindly.
I am in love with this fragrance. I bought it to compare with Kenzo Eau de Toilette Intense, which Fragrantica says is similar, but it’s nothing like it. Kenzo is dried fig with sandalwood; this is coconut with fig and loads of sandalwood. It has something sweet, I suppose the fig nectar, that makes it irresistible. Call me crazy, but it reminded me of the woody sweetness of Bravo Monsieur (a dupe for Santal 33). It doesn’t smell like Le Beau, which is like delicious Banana Boat sunscreen, nor D&G K, which is extremely sweet. It is a sweet coconut and fig with loads of sandalwood, nothing like Paco Rabanne, CH, Gaultier or those brands. It is very versatile, for day and night: the coconut works in the heat by the beach and on holidays, and in the cold thanks to the warmth of the sandalwood. Longevity is average, about six hours, then it sits close to the skin. I consider it unisex. I recommend it widely if you don’t want to smell like the typical Sauvage, One Million, XS, 212 or Le Beau. It will be my signature until I finish it.

I like it very much, but I feel its performance falls short. Nevertheless, it’s worth reapplying; for the price, the purchase is worth it. IMPORTANT: After an hour, it smells exactly like Dolce & Gabbana K, but with a citrus touch at the base.
I love this fragrance, one of those I’ll sniff in the diffuser from time to time to delight myself for a few seconds. Of all its notes, the one I like most is rosemary, which I perceive easily alongside the geranium and coconut.
I adore this perfume; it’s one of those I use in the diffuser from time to time to enjoy for a few seconds. Of all the notes, I like rosemary the most, which I detect alongside geranium and coconut.
I’ve just bought the ‘Cap to Go’ 20ml version. Ambroxan is what stands out most and it doesn’t bother me. You have to reapply it, as it lasts a maximum of 3 hours on my skin.
I hate fig (even though they say the plant is poisonous), so I usually avoid it. But here, the house handles it brilliantly. Without Issey Miyake, I don’t know what I’d do. Still, I won’t buy it as it doesn’t suit my style, just like the Invictus by Paco Rabanne.
It loves fig at the start, but then fades into a sea-like scent; I can’t detect the coconut. It lasts no more than 2 hours on my skin, so I won’t be buying it again.
What a beautiful fragrance, it reminded me of the men’s perfumes my dad used (he liked the very strong ones). With Fusion I find that magnificent touch of 80s and 90s masculine fragrances, but more delicate and enjoyable without fear. I consider it timeless, elegant, subtle but with great quality. On my husband the notes turn into coconut and lactonic, like a coconut cream. It does not resemble Le Beau by JPG or Kenzo Homme Night (those are much sweeter), but I can highly recommend it. Edit: I do not know why lately when I smell it I perceive some note like insect repellent. What a disappointment.
Nice scent, pleasant, and although it doesn’t last long (it is EDT, what did you expect?), it is good. Regarding the notes: lemon? barely. coconut? barely. sandalwood and fig leaf? almost the entire personality (it has no fig nectar). The ambroxan takes centre stage and the other notes such as patchouli, cardamom, rosemary and geranium work in secret but are there. It is woody, neither very sweet nor very fresh. I would recommend it for spring and autumn because on my skin it feels a bit heavy for the heat once the top notes fade, which are fresher. A casual daytime scent, but I see no problem for mild evenings.
Sandalwood, coconut and fig. Normally, with an ambroxan base, it should last longer. It is very rich and above all versatile.
I was looking for something for the heat and found Fusion D’Issey. A total gem. The opening takes you to the beach with coconut notes dominating. A downside is the projection: it is intimate if you want people to smell it close by. Applying it to clothes helps with longevity (in my case, 4 to 6 hours). It is rich, earns compliments, and what I love most is that it blends fresh with sweet, something Fusion achieves. It works well for daily use, work or a daytime date. But where it shines is on the beach under the sun with extreme heat.

Totally a personal indulgence. Nothing more.
Don’t believe everything they write: this smells of coconut, but like a car air freshener, nothing sweet.
A perfume for hot days and memories of the beach. Its opening of coconut and fig transports you to a warm, pleasant place; the Issey signature is evident in the citrus note that adds freshness. A good scent, though not very long-lasting, ideal for informal occasions.
Yes, it smells like the beach 🏖️, but not the wild kind with seaweed and giant waves. It evokes more of lounging in a recliner with a cocktail, music, and palm trees, like at a luxury hotel in Cancún, forgetting everything. It has a sharp note reminiscent of sunscreen and a good balance between citrus and light woods. I wear it alongside KENZO INTENSE, and while there are similarities, KENZO INTENSE is in a different league: heavy woods for a mature audience. FUSION D’ISSEY is more relaxed, suited for younger people and informal settings. PS: I own both flankers (this one and Extrême). My advice: go straight for this one; it’s easier to wear. Extrême might not suit everyone. If you try both, I’d suggest starting with this.
Very delicious, what a pity the longevity is so short.
Absolutely stunning fragrance, I love it, though it doesn’t last long. No matter how much I apply, it leaves no trail and has very little projection; it’s more of an intimate scent, best enjoyed when you’re close. 👍🏻
