Not Super Special, But A Solid Dumb Reach!

Okay, so to start off: the name is misleading. It should really be called OtherStuff&Wood because it has all these other things going on but the wood is still definitely there, more an undertone than a front note. With that aside, this is probably my second-favorite Issey Miyake fragrance of the 14+ I've tried (after or tied with Le Sel EDT). It's SO versatile. It can fit in for any season and any occasion from night out at the bar to white-tie wedding. No, it is probably not going to be the BEST for any of those occasions, but it will fit just fine in a pinch. Performance for me seems to depend on the person. It lasts just okay for me, but I gave my friend a sample and it barely lasted past a couple hours on her. (Side note: she loves it otherwise.) Notes-wise, I actually get juicy stone fruits — apricot is fitting — and the patchouli is definitely there as the scent evolves. It is woodsy throughout, but like I said, the wood is always more a background player. Very, very unisex, very inoffensive. I’ve sent samples to 3 people in my life, not just men, and all 3 picked up a full bottle. Not loud AT ALL. The longevity is my one issue with it; however, because it's so cheap on discounters, you can overspray if you'd like. I highly recommend this as a starter perfume or as something that has a place in anyone's collection as a dumb reach/light daily wear!
