This fragrance had me excited after the Incense and Amber ones...I'm not actually sure this is part of that slightly elevated line being instead just a 'normal' flanker. That's the smell too, quite normal for a Miyake. The opening transported me to the nineties,(in a good way) the top notes of grapefruit are vivid, bitter, long lasting and a signature citrus spikiness of L'eau d'Issey. Wasn't surprised to see that among the notes here. Then there's the woods which come on in the drydown to a very dry, driftwood type of effect for me. It works with the citrus in the same way a lemon and tonic water works with gin. I do get a vaguely juniper like nuance from this giving it an edge of the GnT. However, I found it disappointing, the opening is nice but generic, the drydown has the character I mentioned, but it's not enough for me, something saps all the pleasure out of this fragrance until only a dry husk remains. It's okay but not all that good.
Pretty different from the L'Eau D'Issey line. Quite woody and earthy so I recommend sampling first. When my sample runs out I'd get a smaller bottle.
