How does this "Extrême" version compare to the original Fusion d'Issey?+−
Compared to the original, the Extrême version places a heavier emphasis on the spicy cardamom and the aromatic lavender. While it retains the signature coconut and sandalwood creaminess, it feels more robust and less airy, making it better suited for those who found the original too fleeting.
Is this considered a tropical fragrance because of the coconut?+−
While coconut is a major player, the inclusion of peppermint and lavender keeps it firmly in the "fresh and green" category rather than the "tropical vacation" category. It smells more like a mineral, herbal forest by the coast than a fruity beach drink.
Can this be worn in an office or professional setting?+−
Yes, it is highly rated for business and daily use. The lavender and sandalwood give it a clean, sophisticated edge that feels professional, while the peppermint ensures it stays fresh enough for close-quarters environments.
Is the longevity better than the standard Issey Miyake scents?+−
