Easily the most feminine scent I own! I only have a 7.5ml atomizer which I suspect my girlfriend will get more use from than me but hey? Yes this is very familiar and reminiscent of Issey Miyake but for me has a little more finesse. It opens sweet but then the white floral body takes over and it becomes the sort of fragrance I usually don't like but something about this is somehow more mellow? Maybe it's because it's waterlily, Magnolia and Jasmine rather than orange blossom or neroli? This tends to make it sweeter and frankly quite girly but strangely more pleasing on me. Again I'm not someone who conforms to the traditional paradigms of Man/woman fragrance categorization but you have to call it as you see it and that's what I think. Oddly enough I'd wear this though! The couple of wears so far have interesting in that the opening couple of hours aside the dry down smells amazing on me! Just a very clean almost green vetiver with a little floral touch hanging in there... I really like it. Anyone dismissing this fragrance as over priced for what is a common smelling feminine fragrance should expect to be pleasantly suprised after a few wears. The longevity is very good too.
