Last night I was looking for some fragrance supplies in my scent drawer and discovered this summer-y frag I had put away for the winter. A Scent by Issey Miyake. I tried it out again, and it is *so* green and refreshing, and also strong. I can still smell it after sleeping in it all night! (I seem to get average wear from most fragrances fwiw.) The Galbanum keeps it from going sweet. The Hyacinth is more sharp than soft, and the Lemon verbena really rules it and wraps things together. It's interesting how it stays fresh and sharp unlike other frags that lose their citrus impact during dry-down. I think it must be the Galbanum, but maybe Lemon verbena is stronger than regular citrus. Either way, I love it in this hot, muggy weather.
I discovered Issey Miyake kind of late, but I now have 3 of his fragrances - A Scent, L'Eau d'Issey (pour femme,) and Pleats Please!
Anyone who likes green, unisex scents, check out the reviews.

Bonus: it's like $40 on ebay for a new bottle.
