Im kidding, Issey is a cologne,
very successful and very popular, especially with the ladies. However, this cologne does not work well with darker
males I have heard, I heard it mainly compliments the body chemistry of fairly white men, or caucasion men. It works
well with me, the only thing I hate about this cologne is that its so popular and so recognisable, people can tell
what you are wearing a mile away. Not very original, if that is what you are looking to find, but top quality
nevertheless.
By the way, its designed in Japan, at least the brand is Japanese, because they also sell
extremely expensive designer clothes, a shirt costs in the order of about 500 US, a very plain shirt, but ofcourse
as most colognes, its made in France.

I would cut out the Issey label
from the shirt and glue it to my forehead, at least in that way, I know all the "gold digger" women out there will
see I am rich and have class, you could tell them its a birth mark. Or just hold a sign, im wearing a Issey shirt,
now blow me. For some reason I have a gut feeling that would work...

platinumfox,
I like L'Eau
d'Issey, which I believe is the flagship product of their men's fragrance line.
It's the one that mixes so
wonderfully with NPA.
(Posted recently about it
here. (http://www.pherolibrary.com/forum/showthread.php?p=187039#post187039))
I sampled some of the
Summer version once, and I thought it was nice, but never actually bought any to try mixing with any pheros. I
figured that as much as I like what I've got, it wasn't worth the money to try to fix what ain't
broke.

I don't know many caucasion men
so I can't comment on that remark. However, Issey Miyake works great for me and I'm Korean. Miyake's scents tend
toward the lighter side so they can be easily overpowered by strong 'mones or body odor. You need to carry a pocket
atomizer to refresh every few hours or your dosage of NPA/TE will be painfully obvious.
I can say Asian women
tend to love Miyake's scents.

Well known within the cologne
industry and any girl in a department store will wisper this to you, but its not said to the general public or
marketed in this way, ( as it could be interpreted as racist, and not very good for sales ) at least to the public,
lighter citrus scents work well with lighter skined people, musky scents work well with darker
people.
Koreans to my knowledge are fairly lighter skinned, as compared to other asians. Your very high up on
the map Geographically, near russia.
have you ever heard of a cologne called vetiver? its a 60s cologne, its
scent, i was once told by a girl selling colognes in a department is suited to almost pale white men
anyway,
you will not hear or read much about the cologne / skin color issue, because its deemed racist, but like i said, ask
a girl in a department store next time your in one, she will know what your talking about..

I would think this has
more to do with body chemistry--the quality of your sweat--than skin color. I don't think musk scents are very
becoming on Filipinas and they can be as dark as night. Of course their body chemistry and scents are similar to
pale Asians. My nose tells me that those with more odoriferous perspriation go better with musk scents. And those
can be pale skinned Irish meat eaters, soul food Brothers or cumin sweatin' Indians.
Vetiver is still sold.
The base EO is rather earthy and reminds me of the scent of old hippies.

Vetiver is supposed to be the
scent James Bond wears in the movies, and its the favourite scent of Roman Polanski, I cant imagine it a hippy
scent, extremely masculine, nothing androgenous about it, yeah, still sold, just different bottle, I own it, I have
maybe over 50 commercial authentic colognes, big collection, I like the bottle shapes mostly, I buy them cheap
through my travels in the middle east where no tax is imposed, its less then half what you would pay at a store in
the us or europe.

I think body chemistry is
connected to race and skin color, im sure this topic has been brought up before, in research terms, perhaps JVKOHL
would know more
but the general consensus amongst the girls that sell these scents , especially in countries
that have a high degree of different ethnicities and people with different skin color, will tell you that skin color
is a major factor in choosing a scent, the woman that I spoke too, with regards to this was selling commercial
colognes for like 15 years, she was experienced

I don't doubt body chemistry is connected to race. However race is not neccessarily tied
to skin color. Indians (as in Hindus) are classified as Caucasian and are often dark as night. Filipinos range from
fair to deep black and yet are Asian. The list goes on and on...
As for a store cleck being an authority on skin
chemistry, that one is a delicious giggle!

It was a Black coworker at work that introduced it to me (i still don't have it).
He
raved about it and tow caucasion females mentioned how great it smeeled on two separate occasions.

I agree I spoke to a store cleark and she said that body chemistry is also a factor of diet, eg
garlic can affect you body chemistry.
Also do you remember the story about the Asian chick that ate pineapples to
make her pum pum tasty?
