To be fair I just got my bottle and I haven't worn it yet, I just sprayed it on my wrist but my first impression is: this is pretty much just Fusion d'Issey in a nicer bottle (a little nicer for that matter since it's the same but with a blue hue instead of a green one). Was I expecting a massive variation from a flanker? No, not really however all the Nuit d'Issey flankers have their own personality even though they have the same dna. Pulse of the Night is not really that similar to Noir Argent, right? L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Eau Fraiche sure has a nice twist in the L'Eau Bleue formula so considering the Fig note was removed from Fusion d'Issey Extreme (Fig was a very strong note in the original) and some other tweaks like ambroxan which is no longer listed as a note and the addition of mineral and solar notes (according to fragrantica) I expected something a bit new but instead the only slight difference I found from that first spray is a more noticeable Cardamom in the opening but it was fleeting. You'll definitely associate this smell with certain memories. It's clean but not as "commercial" as Mont Blanc Explorer Blue which to me lasts longer but smells more common. This is a blueish, ozonic, aquatic a bit (mineral note) summer, perfect for a casual day at the pool or beach fragrance. First day wearing this today but so far so good. Nothing like anything else in my collection. A perfect summer scent but can imagine this working in all but the coldest of winters. To my nose the character is mainly derived of Cardamom, Coconut and Lavender so I can understand how some might find the Cardamom-forward character a bit overwhelming. As can happen with other spices like Saffron, too much Cardamom can risk creating a love it or hate it experience. For me personally, though I find it strong this particular balance of spice/herbal/mineral/citrus accords really works. It has a real sunny-warmth about it yet I can also see this being an easy going Spring and Autumn warmth too. I wish I could detect a bit more sweet Mint among the notes but that's not a deal breaker, it is still great as it is. Will it be the next Encre Noir? I don't know yet but will definitely buy again after I go through this 100ml bottle. On initial spray, I get hit with quite a dense and sweet coconut, with a tiny bit of cardamom. Not very citrusy at all. The density is what sets it apart from actual Blue scents IMO.

This one is a fragrance for lovers of the modern trendy but with some different - but subtle -nuances. Projection is very weak, skin scent longevity also way below average. After a couple of evening sprays on the wrist it is non existent/gone in the morning and I don’t think I own another scent that vaporises completely overnight which is disappointing. I've been on a bit of a "Blue" journey lately (BdC, Aqva Atlantiqve, Polo Deep Blue, etc), so was expecting much of the same, but this does something very different. In my mind, it conjured a less generic, less sharp Davidoff Cool Water Intense, mixed the tropical / sun lotion aspect of Set Sail St. Barts, with a bit of the added modern "Blue" vibe and sexiness. Overall, it's quite a unique combination. Reminds me of - Guess indigo ( the closest juice with similar coconut and spice), Kenzo homme night, JPG le Beau ( 20-30% maybe).Fusion Extreme is a real perfume, despite the beachy notes. Put some thought into your grooming, attire and posture when you wear this.

Top Notes โดดเด่นด้วยกลิ่นเลมอนที่สดชื่น ผสมผสานเข้ากับกลิ่นหอมหวานละมุนของน้ำมะพร้าว มอบกลิ่นอุ่นไอแดด ให้ความรู้สึกราวกับมุ่งสู่ใจกลางของภูเขาไฟ I own Fusion d'Issey which I really enjoy, it is a very nice fragrance but not quite 'great' so, to me Fusion d'Issey Extreme was an opportunity for Issey to take that extra step into greatness.This is perfumery with flair, style and a twist. It's szechuan peppers all the way and that's not a bad thing.
