What do reviewers say about L'Eau d'Issey Gold Absolute and Serpentine?
The Gold Absolute leans into warmth the original avoided. Osmanthus gives it a honeyed softness; the lily-and-jasmine heart makes it undeniably feminine. Not for those who prefer their florals sharp.L'Eau d'Issey Gold Absolute
Tropical white florals that don't ask permission. Mango blossom, tiaré, frangipani, bold, warm, unapologetic. If you want to smell like the idea of summer rather than summer itself, this is it.Serpentine
