Season and Occasion Fit

Fusion d'Issey Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Fusion d'Issey's solar coconut and zesty lemon are lively for spring and early summer, while its woody and spicy warmth makes it especially suitable for fall. It can be a bit heavy for the hottest days and not quite cozy enough for deep winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate projection and energetic yet smooth profile make it ideal for casual wear and daytime dates. It is a little too bold and warm for sport, and the coconut-woody combo is a bit playful for strict formal occasions.
