A fragrance nothing new, but… different. It’s soft and slightly citrusy. The marine notes add freshness, the cashmere (wood…) warmth. It’s pleasant. Good lasting power and adequate projection. For summer and autumn, perhaps more autumn here where it’s still a bit warm. As they say around here (speaking of Chanel), if people buy it, it’s because they like its aroma (whether it smells like boiled cauliflower or armpit sweat…). The point is to give opinions without them being absolute truths.
How are you all? I tested this generously today but don’t have a clear concept yet, so I’m sharing my first impressions to finish the review later. First, the bottle is modern, with a metallic sheen on the cap and a shape distinct from the minimalism of the others. Its blue juice and striking lettering. The term ‘Majeure’ means ‘majestic’, referring to a wonderful but dangerous sea. It opens rough with citrus and instantly a strong herbal, salty note, which I attribute to marine notes with coastal vegetation, salt or iodine. The dry down is softly woody, with the precision of a cashmere scent, that semi-sweet wood and others floating in a vast sea. I bought it for the upcoming summer and will correct perceptions. It’s not intense, it’s refreshing. At some point it reminds me ‘dangerously of Invictus’, but I pray it was an olfactory hallucination. It has the Miyake DNA, don’t worry, but we’ll see. UPDATE: After the potent and confusing opening, I like its marine aroma with that Miyake citrus touch and I think its lasting power and projection are good, which I questioned before. ACCEPTED. I like it more and more each day. Its opening of green mandarin peels, then sea salt and cashmere… it hooked me. Used generously, it lasts a long time and projects well.
The Japanese master launches another fragrance distinct from the others but with his unmistakable DNA. It’s woody, aquatic and elegant; the bottle recalls moving water. I find it vibrant and energetic, with lasting power and sillage that are more than acceptable. It also has talc-like notes that I simply adore. I’ll be using it a lot on the sample strip and it will surely end up in my collection.
Another deep dive into the Calone lane. I’ve tried it and it’s basically Calone plus Ambroxan with a citrusy kick at the start. It doesn’t smell bad; it’s simple and pleasant, much like many perfumes flooding the market. The resemblance to Invictus is obvious: youthful, cloyingly sweet, marine and fresh, bordering on linear but very much in fashion for designer scents. Issey hasn’t complicated matters; they’re aiming for mass sales. Performance is decent, lasting around seven hours on skin with moderate projection. Ideal for warm or mild days and daytime wear. If you like this style, go for it; if you’re already tired of Invictus clones, look elsewhere, as this is more of the same. Note: it doesn’t smell exactly like Invictus, but it follows the same line.
L’Eau Majeure smells fruity, aquatic and woody. It matches what Fragrantica says. It’s in the style of Azzaro Wanted or Kenzo Pour Homme EDP, each with its own touch. Fruity-citrus opening, sweet but not too refreshing, with an amber touch and marine notes like calone. The dry-down is woody and pleasant. Very good longevity, around ten hours, with projection in the first two. It’s versatile and good for spring and summer.
L’Eau Majeure d’Issey seems to me a fruity, aquatic and woody fragrance. The note composition described on Fragrantica seems very faithful to what is perceived. It seems very much in the style of Azzaro Wanted or Kenzo Pour Homme EDP, of course each with its particularities, but in a very similar style. The opening is fruity-citrusy, sweet but not too refreshing; one perceives an amber and the marine notes (Calone, as mentioned before). The dry down is woody and pleasant. Its lasting power was very good on me, at least ten hours, with some projection in the first two. I consider it versatile and good for spring and summer.
Fresh opening with soft citrus. It settles quickly into a rich, marine-citrus and woody aroma. In the dry-down it rounds out, perhaps the cashmere calms it. The evolution cuts off in minutes, dropping intensity until around six hours. Moderate sillage; if over-applied it performs better without ruining the scent. Ideal for summer and spring, losing projection in the cold. The bottle is typical Issey, aluminium cap and blue liquid, quite pretty. Good sprayer. It could be generic but has its own touches. Bought 100ml.
I love all Issey Miyake perfumes. This sample of L’Eau Majeure follows its line. It smells clean, fresh, and masculine. The citrus lasts only five minutes before the woods take over, with a sweetness of bergamot and something that seems like cashmere. Soft marine notes, a feeling of freedom. The woods and cashmere give masculinity without being heavy. I don’t yet know the longevity or sillage; I’ll update soon.
Reminds me of This Is Not A Blue Bottle by Parfums de Marly, but more chemical. Not bad for daytime wear in spring or summer. Projection and longevity are moderate, more than usual for summer. Versatility 7/10. A worthwhile purchase if cheap, though I prefer the Parfums de Marly version. A Nicheboy.
Correct but far too potent. It creates an overpowering atmosphere. It’s linear and slightly irritating; a blend of many woods with a strong salty note, nothing like those easy aquatic scents. It’s like a stormy sea crashing against elegant woods under a chemical cloud. Although they say it’s for spring, I see it only for cold climates.
Issey, don’t overcomplicate it: ambroxan, calone, and citrus. It’s linear and smells like floor cleaner or room freshener. It’s what people want. I give it a 2.
I want to start with my review of this perfume. The bottle is very interesting; the very heavy metal cap adds luxury, and the deep blue liquid gives defined orientation from the start, an absolute icy freshness that is the perfect touch for its packaging. I applied it to my arm and immediately a refreshing, intense and peaceful aroma arrives. Its fresh notes, from the citrus and marine elements, provide that ideal freshness. It transports me to icy paradises. After a few minutes, the woods begin to shine, giving it that unique oriental and differential touch, and its evolution follows the same contrasts. I think it’s a different and unique fragrance; it moves away from perfumes like Invictus or Sauvage; if it were equal or similar, I couldn’t stand it. It has very good lasting power and a projection that stands out. It deserves a chance and one should try to understand the vision of this great fragrance. It’s really worth it.
The bottle is top-notch; the heavy metal cap gives a luxurious feel, and the blue liquid defines it as icy fresh. Upon application, an intense and peaceful aroma, citrus and marine, like being in a paradise. Then the woods emerge, a unique oriental touch. It moves away from Invictus or Sauvage clones. Longevity and projection are excellent. Worth trying and understanding.
It’s a very pleasant fragrance. I don’t understand the criticisms. It smells very good.
As Dionisio says, it’s pure truth. I tried it without reading anything and it gave me the sensation of cleaner with dirt on it. The opening is lovely, but on my skin it lasts three minutes. If you buy blind, even if it’s cheap, smelling it first is mandatory; otherwise, it’s throwing money away.
Very pleasant fragrance. I don’t understand the fuss. It smells good.
Decent, but it smells odd. It’s one of the few that lasts from this brand. The performance is top-notch, which is rare for designer fragrances, but there’s a note that doesn’t convince me and takes away the urge to buy it.
One of my favourites; I had it and will buy it again. Lots of woods, some citrus, mint, and a very soft sweetness… trail and longevity are very good, lasting 24 hours on skin. An unconventional aquatic woody scent. I consider it not for everyone; young people don’t know how to appreciate it; for them, Tommy is better, haha. Highly recommended for ADULTS.
A fragrance with a somewhat synthetic aroma, although marine, cashmere, and slightly sweet salty notes are felt. Ladies love it from day one; I’ve received many compliments. Its projection, trail, and longevity range from moderate to heavy, depending on the sprays: 4 to 5 is moderate, 6 to 8 is heavy. I use it casually, for dates, or to share with friends at the beach or by the sea, or for a casual afternoon. A trail of a metre with 7 to 8 sprays; with 4 sprays, it reaches about an arm’s length. Longevity is 7 to 10 hours with 7 to 8 sprays, and 5 to 7 hours with 4 to 5 sprays. Aroma rating 8/10; if I didn’t feel the synthetic note, I’d give it a solid 9. Trail 9/10, longevity 9.5/10. Recommendation depends on each person’s pH; we know it doesn’t work for everyone. Always test it on your skin first, as every skin is different.
A quite good fragrance with marked, undeclared floral accents. Longevity and projection are good for its genre and being a Miyake; it brings well-being and a good mood; I was very surprised by its unexpected floral facet. I have it for a birthday gift. The price is very good.
I don’t like the course the Miyake house is taking at all. For years they did things very well; the first men’s and women’s scents are perfect examples of fashionable perfumes with personality. L’Eau pour homme was citrus-woody with a fatty lotus note and obvious aquatic character, almost unisex; L’Eau pour femme, a beautiful aquatic floral. Then came Le Feu, now discontinued, an misunderstood and transgressive fragrance, today it could be niche. I also don’t want to forget A Scent, a beautiful fragrance that updated those crunchy green waters of the seventies in the new millennium. In between, they released a hundred and one mother-of-flankers from the L’Eau, some better, others worse, most forgettable, but ugly one can’t say because they were no more than irrelevant variations of the mother perfumes. Until L’Eau Bleue pour homme arrived, a smoky and herbaceous aromatic very well made. When they discovered they could cover the men’s night segment with the dark-toned versions called Nuit or Intense, the house lost my interest. I won’t be the one to say that the thousand and one black bottle versions are bad, but I can’t stand the vanillas or the Arab tonkas or festival notes, and that is the DNA of that nocturnal Miyake family. However, with L’Eau Majeure I think I can openly say it’s a disaster. It smells of ambroxan to excess, without nuances, of hair, of blanket, with its characteristic yellowed paper and corrupted plaster smell. That is exactly what is here: ambroxan by the shovel. Ambroxan given and given away united with those marine notes, between salty, octopus-like and carnal ones that are in fashion and turn my stomach because they remind me of dirt, of grime. L’Eau Majeure is like a filthy pus in yellow tones, it smells of corrupted things, of dead things, of dirty public toilet, of stale fish, of cardboarded underwear and of re-stewed bodily secretions. A horror. In between a hideous grapefruit that smells of boiled egg and a harsh disinfectant tone that burns even in the liver. In my opinion, to say it’s an abomination is to put it lightly. PS: Undoubtedly the elder brother of Invictus.
A fragrance that envelops you in a fresh and powdery aura for a long time. The opening is citrusy, giving way to a sweet and salty sensation with a floral touch. I detect a lot of musk (not declared), powdery, talcum-like… To summarise: citrus clashing with salty marine notes, sweetness, and a wonderful trail. All set in a woody and musky context. Its virtue is versatility and ease of wear during the day or evening. It’s not complex enough for the night, but it could work in summer. It’s very well crafted, worn with pleasure, clean and crystal clear like a raw diamond. Very masculine and not similar to Invictus. One of the very best in the Miyake collection.
I don’t like the direction the Miyake house is heading. For years they produced perfection: the first men’s and women’s scents are examples of fashion and personality. L’Eau pour homme was a woody citrus with greasy lotus and aquatic notes, almost unisex; L’Eau pour femme was a beautiful aquatic floral. Then came Le Feu, misunderstood and transgressive, which would be niche today. Also A Scent, which updated those seventies green waters. In between, they released hundreds of flankers, some good, others bad, but none ugly, just irrelevant variations. Then came L’Eau Bleue, a well-made aromatic, smoky, and herbaceous scent. Once they realised they could cover the night segment with the dark versions (Nuit or Intense), I lost interest. I’m not saying the thousand black bottle versions are bad, but I can’t stand vanillas, Arabic tonkas, or festival-style scents; that’s the DNA of that night family. With L’Eau Majeure, I’d say it’s a disaster. It smells of ambroxan to excess, without nuance, like hair, like a blanket, with its yellowed paper and corrupted plaster smell. That’s exactly what’s here… ambroxan by the bucketload. Ambroxan given freely combined with salty, squidgy, and carnal marine notes that make me sick because they remind me of dirt and grime. L’Eau Majeure is like a filthy pus in yellow tones, smelling of corrupted, dead things, dirty public restrooms, stale fish, cardboard underwear, and reconstituted secretions. A horror. In between, there’s a hideous grapefruit smelling of boiled egg and an abrasive disinfectant tone that burns even in the liver. For my taste, calling it a monstrosity is an understatement. PS: Definitely the younger brother of Invictus.
Smells terrible. It’s a fragrance that smells like vomit, and I say this with complete sincerity. I can’t quite identify the wood note, but that ingredient is the last thing I imagine when smelling this.
I’m not sure if it was the coronavirus-induced parosmia or what, but at first the citrus notes didn’t blend with the amber and hédione; it smelled of very ripe, almost damaged orange, which I can’t stand. However, that weird scent disappears after 30 minutes, leaving just the amber and the sea. The middle notes last an hour, and finally, there’s a fresh wood note with low intensity (5 sprays). It’s exquisite in longevity, feels more like an eau de cologne than an eau de parfum. It has nothing to do with the brilliant L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme and Nuit d’Issey. I don’t think it’s suitable for making an impression or wearing at night. If you want the base to be felt beyond your wrist, you’ll need 10 or 15 sprays on your neck and wrists… simply not worth it.
Horrendous. I hated it from the start. It’s not that it doesn’t suit me, but I find it deeply unpleasant. Like KOUROS, some see it as a work of art, while I find it disgusting. Not fresh, not citrusy, nothing… it smells of urine and a dirty bathroom. It’s animalistic. Don’t even think about buying it blindly.
L’Eau Majeure by Issey Miyake – I don’t know what everyone else thinks, but I absolutely love it. Smells of sea and salt with a sweet touch; I’ve received countless compliments. It has a radiant trail, projects beautifully, and lasts excellently. One of my favourites, a true all-rounder.
Super rich fragrance with beastly longevity and projection. If you’re looking for something off the beaten track, this is it. Just a warning: don’t buy it blindly.
Very rich perfume, with a brutal projection and above all a beastly trail. There are no words to describe this fragrance; I love it too much.
The projection is very poor; I don’t know if it has been reformulated. It’s a citrus that doesn’t smell very common; it’s an alternative or a bold move. I haven’t bought it again as there are better options in the market. It wasn’t easy to wear; it’s a strident scent and didn’t make me look good on various occasions. I was grateful for its low projection and trail; it’s complex.
I was given a 20ml sample when buying another fragrance. I tried it but it seems synthetic and harsh. I waited for it to dry to see if it evolved, but it didn’t.
It’s simply an exquisite fragrance. It has a marine scent, very fresh and masculine. It lasts for approx eight to ten hours and projects very well. In my opinion, this flanker from Issey Miyake is spectacular, highly recommended.
It’s simply an exquisite fragrance. It has a marine scent, very fresh and masculine. It lasts about 8 to 10 hours and projects very well. To my taste, this flanker from Issey Miyake is spectacular; highly recommended.
What a horrible perfume! With all due respect, I find nothing citrusy in it, just woods and woods, but a quite strong and unpleasant smell compared to all the others in my collection; this one just doesn’t suit me. I don’t recommend it as a blind buy for scent lovers, but this one just doesn’t suit me.
Apparently, that foul note sits very badly with my sense of smell. It makes me feel dizzy very quickly. I find it hard to use this perfume, even to open the bottle and smell it. On the other hand, I notice Super Majeure as saltier, more marine and fresher. A mix between Profondo and Megamare. Much easier to wear. Unfortunately, the aforementioned note is to blame for the discomfort caused by this flanker. I recommend trying before buying.
It’s true that in the first five minutes you notice a certain stench of perspiration/urine, but after that period it goes away and the Japanese magic appears that Issey Miyake has got us used to. At the same time, bearing in mind that, as we all know, perfumes by this designer are not the most long-lasting -with exceptions-, it can be highlighted that this particular one has high longevity and medium/high projection. Season: spring/summer/mild autumn. Occasion: office, morning or evening outings, informal.
When applied, it smells of real urine, of urea, it’s incredible. In the first 15 minutes it’s surprising because it’s unbearable; at first I couldn’t believe it, thinking the perfume was spoiled. It smells of a public bathroom where men have been for 8 hours, a mix of urine and stale sweat, but afterwards it smells completely of the sea. If you can survive the introduction, I think it’s a rather curious perfume.
I like it… it has those citrus scents mixed with woods and the sea. I’ve received compliments, especially from men saying it smells good. Maybe it’s not the best from IM, but I definitely like it. I’d give it a 7.5.
At first, it didn’t grab me; it smells of something super blue and marine, almost like a swimming pool and woods. It’s for over-45s in the office during summer. It doesn’t last long, only about 3-4 hours, and the trail is moderate. I don’t see it as elegant, although the price is good. It’s not a blind buy; you need very specific tastes to enjoy it.
