Some dudes don’t like fragrances with an overwhelming scent. One good example of a perfume that is not too strong and which I have been hearing over and over again from the users of the PGG Forums is Issey Miyake L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme Sport.
Last week, after my usual jogging routine, I was walking at the men’s fragrances section of Landmark Makati when I saw Issey Miyake at one of the racks. I got curious so I tried it. It’s pretty good. It smells clean, fresh, and a bit citrusy. Wearing this would make you smell as if you just came out of the shower.
The bottle is pretty tall but slim for 100 mL. I imagine this as a nice perfume after gym or basketball practice. Spray it on after shower and you are all set for your date.
Since it is a light-smelling perfume, you may find yourself applying it twice or thrice daily as the smell will last for only 3-5 hours based from my experience. If you are not much into strong-smelling perfume, then this one is a must-have. The scent blends really well in a hot and tropical climate like ours.
I got it on sale for 3, 300 Pesos only.

I’m one of those perfume addicts and have been blind-buying perfumes for awhile, and being a member of both Basenotes and Fragrantica has heightened that addiction with over 40 bottles of perfume I currently have.
I would say that this is a good scent for those who are into light citrus perfume. L’eau D’Issey has good longevity, sillage and projection for those who are into citrus-fresh scent.
You can pretty much lavish yourself with tons and tons of perfumes if you have the time to browse and purchase on ebay. I usually get them overseas and have them shipped here. It’s much cheaper compared to the perfume prices we have here. The downside of it is you don’t get to sample the perfume and you pretty much depend on reviews online.
