Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fusion d'Issey
A bold twist on fresh woody masculines, Fusion d'Issey electrifies with coconut, solar woods, and a spicy-mineral undertone. Unexpectedly playful, energetic, and versatile for the adventurous.
Statement
Our Verdict - No.13 Nouvelle Vague
This lactonic fig and coconut number is a true split-decision scent. Some find it a creamy, luxurious escape to a European summer, while others are baffled by an unpleasant synthetic or rubbery note that makes it unwearable. Sample first, definitely.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fusion d'Issey

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.

No.13 Nouvelle Vague

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its generally subtle projection and fresh yet warm character make it suitable for casual wear and even office settings, provided you don't experience the rubbery notes. It's likely too understated for formal events but its creamy warmth could work for a relaxed date.
