L’Eau d’Issey Pure Nectar de Parfum by Issey Miyake

On my skin, the peony, rose, and aquatic note take centre stage. I adore it; I have nothing like it in my collection. I’d define it as fresh, elegant florality.

A great perfume. I detect plenty of peony and honey, then as it dries down, violet emerges along with the musky base that gives it personality. It’s the best in the line for me, lasting all day; even after a shower, it goes over 12 hours. Projection is medium-high at first, but it is noticeable, so don’t be fooled. It’s a masterpiece, but if you don’t like roses, forget it. Here, they are super polished with impactful honey.

What a lovely sweet perfume. The opening is honey and roses, which dominate. It’s sweet and floral, a bit strong for moderate use. Neither informal nor formal, more of a middle ground. I won’t buy it because it doesn’t make me fall in love, but I must say it smells good.

I loved it at first because it really smells like nectar, like the honey of the bells. After two hours, on the blotter, it turned identical to the original Eau D’Issey, which I already own. I recommend it as a sweeter but equally fresh version, but I feel it’s not worth owning both. If you have the original, try layering it with honey perfumes to achieve something similar to Pure Nectar and more lasting, as the sweetness disappears first.

I absolutely love this sweet rose with honey; it’s a cheerful and exquisite scent. I wear it daily, although it’s versatile, it predominates during the day and suits any season. I would definitely recommend it.

This perfume is rare and special; it doesn’t resemble anything in my collection. I find it very pleasant for autumn, winter and spring, smelling of honey and intense rose, though I don’t detect much pear. Longevity and sillage are moderate, but the base is very rich with that sandalwood and violet. I like it, but I don’t wear it in very warm springs or summers.

Absolutely not! It feels incredibly synthetic and the smell gave me a headache. Very bad, very bad!

I don’t like it at all; it was a gift so I’ve kept it and it’s still full. It’s a sweet, overly floral perfume that’s heavy in the opening, but that’s not what bothers me. What I dislike is that pear note. Personally, I can’t tolerate pear; I just don’t like it. It has excellent longevity, so I recommend it to those who like sweet fruity perfumes.

Although the opening is very sweet, after an hour it turns floral, with a delicate and elegant rose. I tested it in the middle of summer and heat, but I think it’s more of an autumn scent. It’s super versatile, ideal for daily wear or special events. The longevity on skin is high, but the sillage is short. In short, it’s a good perfume.

What a lovely Pure Nectar. I came across a page impregnated with perfume, those kind found in magazines, and I rubbed it vigorously on my wrist. It’s delicate, yet has personality. It seems to me proof that with willpower one can create something refined, beautiful, and pink in every sense, setting itself apart from the plague of roses flooding the market. Perhaps I’m saying something silly, but it reminded me of Panthere de Cartier. I don’t know if due to the notes or that halo of exquisite-ness, being this the mature sister but equally admirable of that one.
